PERSONNEL FILES AND EMPLOYEE COMPETENCE. A. An Association member shall have the right to review the contents of all records as required by law and to have an Association representative present at such review. B.

The Association member may submit a written notation regarding the material and the same shall be attached to the material in question. If the bargaining unit member believes the material placed, or to be placed, in the employee's file is inappropriate or in error, the employee may receive an adjustment, provided cause is shown. If an Association member is requested to sign the material to be placed in the employee's file, such signature shall not be interpreted to mean agreement with the material's content. C. An Association member shall be notified, in advance, in writing, of the purpose of a meeting where an unsatisfactory rating and/or disciplinary action is contemplated and shall be entitled to have any Association Representative(s) present.
