Investigatory Hearing Waiver – Initial Progressive Discipline Step for Attendance Reliability or Dependability Sample Clauses

Investigatory Hearing Waiver – Initial Progressive Discipline Step for Attendance Reliability or Dependability i. In the event the disciplinary action is a Written Warning – Level One for sick calls under attendance reliability the Company may issue such discipline without the need for an investigatory meeting under Section 3.A.2.a. The Written Warning – Level One will be in writing and shall be delivered to the affected Flight Attendant either in person or via FedEx or UPS, signature required, and a copy shall be placed in the Flight Attendant’s “V file.” ii. A Flight Attendant who wishes to question the Company’s factual assertions, or otherwise desires to present evidence in response to the Written Warning – Level One, may request that an investigatory meeting be held, and the Company shall thereafter conduct such an investigatory meeting in accordance with this Section. iii. A Flight Attendant request for a Section 3.A.2.a. investigatory meeting relating to a Written Warning – Level One for sick calls, must be made within fourteen (14) days from the date of issuance. The disciplinary document must clearly inform the Flight Attendant that he/she may request an investigatory meeting within fourteen (14) days, and that he/she may be represented by a Union representative during the meeting. iv. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to prevent a Flight Attendant from filing a grievance challenging whether there was just cause for the Written Warning – Level One. A grievance may be filed pursuant to Section 3.C.2. However, absent a request for an investigatory meeting, the Company will not be deemed to have violated Section 3 A.2.a. by not affirmatively holding an investigatory meeting prior to issuing a Written Warning – Level One. v. Should a Flight Attendant timely schedule an investigatory meeting under this Section, the time for filing a grievance under Section 3.C.2. will be tolled. Once the Flight Attendant has received a written response, whether in paper or electronic form, to his/her questions or evidence presented during the investigatory meeting, the fourteen (14) day limitations period for filing a grievance under Section 3.C.2. will commence. A copy of the written response will be sent to the Union pursuant to Section 3.A.3.c.v. vi. The parties agree that the aforementioned exception to Section 3 A.2.a. shall apply only in the case of a Written Warning – Level One for sick calls. In any other disciplinary matter, or level, a Section 3. A.2.a. investigatory meeting must be held unless otherwise agreed to by the Flight Attendant or Association.
