Common use of Notice of Proposed Discipline Clause in Contracts

Notice of Proposed Discipline. When the President or representative has reason to believe that a suspension or termination should be imposed, the President or representative shall provide the employee with a written notice of the proposed disciplinary action and the reasons therefore. Such notice shall be sent certified mail, return receipt requested, or delivered in person. The employee shall be given ten (10) days in which to respond in writing to the President or representative before the proposed action is taken. The President or representative then may issue a notice of disciplinary action under Section 16.4. The employee has a right to union representation during investigatory questioning that may reasonably be expected to result in disciplinary action. If the President or representative does not issue a notice of disciplinary action, the notice of proposed disciplinary action shall not be retained in the employee’s evaluation file, as permitted by law.
