Common use of Layoff, Demotion, Discipline or Discharge Clause in Contracts

Layoff, Demotion, Discipline or Discharge. Where the Company decides to hold a meeting with an employee, to investigate a matter that may result in discipline/discharge or demotion, the Company shall advise the employee in writing (email is sufficient) indicating the nature of the meeting (including the fact that it is an investigatory meeting). This will include notice of the employee’s right to request the presence of a SPEA representative at the meeting. SPEA will endeavour to make available a representative within twenty-four (24) hours notice. In all cases the representative will be assigned within forty-eight (48) hours. In serious and urgent circumstances, SPEA will make available a representative on shorter notice than provided for above. In cases of discipline/discharge, the Company shall notify in writing (email is sufficient) the employee affected, as well as the SPEA President or designate and if unavailable, any Member at Large in that order, and the reason for such action. Such notification shall normally take place within one (1) day of notification to the employee. SPEA representatives will be present at discipline/discharge meetings, unless the employee, having been advised of their right to SPEA representation, specifically declines. In cases of lay off or demotion, the Company shall notify in writing (email is sufficient) the SPEA President or designate, as well as the employee affected, of the action taken and the reason for such action. Such notification shall take place in advance of the notification to the employee.
