Initial Procedures for Dealing with Allegations of Misconduct or Serious Misconduct Sample Clauses

Initial Procedures for Dealing with Allegations of Misconduct or Serious Misconduct. Where a matter which may involve misconduct or serious misconduct has been dealt with in good faith by the University as if it were a case of unsatisfactory performance under subclause 14.1 of this Agreement, the provisions of subclause 14.2 are not required to be followed, but the provisions of subclause 14.1 must be followed. Disciplinary action should be used as a last resort. An employee's supervisor will normally seek to resolve instances of possible misconduct or serious misconduct through guidance, counselling, or other appropriate action including appropriate academic staff development or work allocation before a report of misconduct or serious misconduct is submitted to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor. Where it is not appropriate for an allegation of misconduct or serious misconduct to be resolved in accordance with subclause 14.2(b) above, or where an allegation has not been resolved in accordance with subclause 14.2(b) above, the academic supervisor may refer the matter to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor through a written report. The report will provide information about the nature and details of the misconduct or serious misconduct allegation(s), and what steps were taken to attempt to resolve the issue, or, if relevant, why it was not appropriate to resolve the allegation in accordance with subclause 14.2(b) above. The Deputy Vice-Chancellor will initially consider whether the allegation is serious and warrants further investigation. If the Deputy Vice-Chancellor considers it appropriate he/she may refer the matter back to the academic supervisor for action in accordance with subclause 14.2(b) above. Otherwise, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor may initiate the procedures which commence with subclause 14.2.2 below (including subclause 14.2.1 if relevant). For the purpose of exercising his or her discretion under subclause 14.2(d), the Deputy Vice-Chancellor may conduct or initiate informal inquiries.
