Pre-Disciplinary Hearing. An employee, other than one in their probationary period, shall be given a pre-disciplinary hearing in conformance with County policy prior to receiving a suspension or discharge. If an employee requests a Union representative to be present at the pre-disciplinary hearing, the representative will be permitted to be present at the pre-disciplinary hearing. Employees will receive written notice of the hearing, which will include the Agency recommendation, within five (5) working days of the scheduled hearing date, and the Agency will provide all documentation that will be presented at the hearing to the Union three (3) working days prior to the hearing date. It is the intent that all pre-disciplinary hearing recommendations be issued within fifteen (15) working days after the hearing. However, if the hearing officer believes, due to the volume of information, complexity of issues or other potential delays, that the recommendation will exceed fifteen (15) days, the hearing officer will give an estimate of the date the recommendation will be issued at the pre-disciplinary hearing.
