Notice of Investigatory Interview. The District shall notify the employee of the event or conduct being investigated to permit the employee to understand the general nature of the concern. Prior to such an investigatory interview, the supervisor involved shall notify the employee of the employee’s right to have PROTEC17 representation and shall permit the employee reasonable time to arrange for participation of a PROTEC17 representative or shop xxxxxxx, as is appropriate and timely to the situation.
Notice of Investigatory Interview. At least seventy-two (72) hours prior to a disciplinary interview, the result of which could be that the City may impose an economic sanction upon the employee, the employee and the Association will be informed, in writing, of the nature of the investigation and the specific allegations, policies, procedures and/or laws which form the basis for the investigation at that time. The employee will be afforded the opportunity to consult with an Association representative. The employee and the Association will be provided all available materials the City possesses related to the investigation, unless the City elects to provide a written statement of essential facts which would support any contemplated discipline. When releasing information to the employee and the Association, the City may place conditions on disclosure of witness statements under circumstances where the conditions are warranted in order to limit risk of claims or aggravation of difficult circumstances in the work place or in the City's relationship with a victim. In such event, the City and the Association shall cooperate to meet appropriate investigative and due process needs. The employee shall be allowed the right to have an Association representative present during the interview. The opportunity to have the Association representative present at the interview shall not delay the interview more than four (4) hours, except for minor complaints (incidents for which no more than an oral warning may result) which may be handled immediately when a representative is not readily available. However, if in the course of the interview it appears as if a more serious disciplinary problem has developed, the employee will be allowed up to four (4) hours to obtain a representative to be present at the interview.
