Inquiries and Administrative Investigations Sample Clauses

Inquiries and Administrative Investigations a. Prior to issuing a letter of reprimand or a notice of proposed disciplinary ac- tion, the official issuing the letter or notice, or his or her designee, shall under- take an inquiry to obtain pertinent facts relating to the disciplinary situation. The “inquiry” is the initial phase of an investigation to determine whether further investigation or discipline is warranted. b. To the extent practicable, the official conducting the inquiry will try to obtain information directly from the affected employee, before contacting others. Investigations, if warranted, will be in accordance with the standards set forth in USDA Department Manual Chapter 751, Subchapter 3. c. The affected employee(s) or Union may request information about the status of an inquiry or administrative investigation at any time, but not the substance. Management will promptly respond to these requests. The response will specify whether the inquiry or investigation has been closed or when closure is expected, if known. d. The employee may, in accordance with Article 4.3, be represented by the Union. Employees of the unit are entitled to Union representation at all discus- sions and upon request must be given an opportunity to secure a representative. If involved in a discussion with Management or an agency investigator, the employee may terminate the discussion and be allowed adequate time to secure a representative. e. Once Management has been notified that the Union is representing the employee(s) in reference to a specific matter, Management will notify the representative of any additional meetings with the employee(s) relevant to that matter. This notifi- cation will allow reasonable time for the representative to attend the meeting(s). A copy of any correspondence to the employee from Management will be sent to the Union representative at the same time as it is sent to the employee. f. Criminal investigations: The provisions of this article do not apply to criminal investigations.
