DISCHARGE, SUSPENSION AND DISCIPLINE 10:01 A claim by an employee who has completed probation that he or she has been unjustly discharged shall be treated as a grievance if a written statement of such discharge is lodged by the employee with the Administrator or designate within five (5) days after the employee has received his/her discharge notice. Such grievance will be taken up by the Union at a special meeting with the Administrator.
10:02 It is agreed that the Chairperson of the Union Committee will be notified immediately on the dismissal of an employee in the bargaining unit. Should the Chairperson not be available at the time, a copy of the letter or notice shall be given to a Committeeperson who is available.
10:03 In the event the Employer initiates a disciplinary action against an employee that results in the suspension or discharge of the employee, the following procedure shall be followed:
(a) The employee shall be notified in writing, of the action and/or penalty with a copy given to the Chairperson, if the penalty is a suspension. If the penalty is discharge then only the Union (President or his/her designate) need be notified in addition to the employee.
(b) In the event the Employer is dissatisfied with the work of an employee and correction discussion has not resolved the problem, the Employer shall notify the employee in writing of the dissatisfaction concerning his/her work within five (5) working days when becoming aware of the incident giving rise to the complaint. This notice shall include particulars of the work performance which led to the complaint.
(c) The letter or form given to the employee shall state the complaint or appraisal of results and contain on the bottom thereof a statement to the effect that the employee acknowledges having read the letter or form acknowledging receipt of a copy of the same, and a place for the employee to sign. The employee shall sign the letter or form and a copy shall be given to her. Prior to signing, the employee shall have the opportunity to write her comments.
(d) The employee has the right to Union Representation in any proceedings under (a), (b) or (c) above.
10:04 Such grievance shall proceed directly to Step 2 of the grievance procedure and must be presented in writing, dated, and signed within five (5) working days after notice of the discharge was given.
10:05 Only those disciplinary notices that result in a suspension will remain on an employees personnel file for a period of fifteen (15) months. All other disciplinary notices, warnings or statements will be removed and given to the employee after a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the infraction.
10:06 An employee shall, upon written request, be granted the opportunity to view his/her personnel file. It is understood that such request will be granted within seven (7) days or at a time mutually agreed to by the parties. The employee may have a Committeeperson present while viewing their file, if requested.
10:07 The Union Chairperson or a Committeeperson will be present during all warnings, or counselling sessions regarding disciplinary actions of a seniority employee. When an employee is called to an interview and the subject of the interview is discipline, the employee will be so informed by the Employer’s representative when given notice of the interview, and will be advised to have her Union representative present. The interview will not begin or proceed without Union representation. A copy of any warning to be placed in an employee’s file must be copied to the Union Chairperson. Discipline is defined as a written warning, reprimand, suspension, dismissal or other disciplinary action to an employee.

a) is given a reprimand which is to be entered on the employee’s personnel file;
b) is suspended or discharged. In unusual circumstances, where it is necessary for the Employer to advise an employee by mail of discharge, the Union office will be mailed a copy of such notice. Absence of a Shop Xxxxxxx or Assistant Shop Xxxxxxx or another employee shall not invalidate the discipline, except in exceptional circumstances.
25.02 The affected employee, a Shop Xxxxxxx and the Union, shall be given a copy of any disciplinary notice which is to be entered on an employee's personnel file. The affected employee, the Shop Xxxxxxx, and the Union shall also be given a copy of any discharge notice that is given to an employee. In all cases of discipline or discharge the Employer shall notify the affected employee, and a Shop Xxxxxxx and the Union in writing of the reasons for taking such action. The notice of discipline or discharge shall be given to the affected employee and a Shop Xxxxxxx promptly and a copy of the discipline or discharge notice shall be forwarded to the Union office via fax within two (2) business days (excluding Saturday and Sunday and General Holidays) of the event.
25.03 Employees covered by this Agreement shall have access to their own personnel file, upon written request by the employee involved. Employees shall be able to obtain copies of their personnel file when requested, at the employee's expense. The Employer shall keep only one (1) personnel file per employee.
(a) Employee’s written corrective action documentation(s) other than suspension will be taken from an employee’s file after fifteen (15) months should no similar offence have occurred during said period.
(b) Employee’s suspension documentation(s) will be taken from an employee’s file after thirty (30) months should no similar offence have occurred during said period.

15.07 In cases involving allegations of serious misconduct or a threat to the safety of a person or property, as a precautionary measure, the Xxxx (or delegate) of the faculty in which the Employee works may suspend the Employee with pay during an investigation. Within one (1) Business Day from the time of such a suspension, the Employer shall provide the Employee with a letter setting out the allegation or threat with a copy to the Union. The letter will inform the Employee of their right to Union representation in connection with the matter and a meeting will be scheduled between the parties within three (3) Business Days of the above letter being provided. The parties may delay this meeting by written agreement pending the outcome of an investigation. The Employer will complete the investigation and inform the Employee of the results of the investigation, and of any corrective action that has been or will be taken, normally within ninety (90) calendar days of the commencement of the investigation, unless there are extenuating circumstances warranting a longer investigation. During any meetings between the Employee and the Employer during the investigation, the Employee may choose to be accompanied by a Union representative.
