Professional Employee Rights. No professional employee shall be disciplined without notice and just cause. Any such action asserted by the Superintendent or the Board shall be in accordance with the School Code. Whenever any professional employee is required to appear at a meeting before the Superintendent or the Board, he or she shall be given prior notice of the reason therefor and shall be advised of the basis of the disciplinary action taken. If the primary purpose of said meeting is to advise the professional employee of the probability of his or her dismissal, as opposed to the investigation of allegations which may ultimately result in his or her dismissal, the professional employee shall be entitled to representation by a representative of the Association. Grievances pertaining to this Article II shall not be arbitrable and therefore may not be submitted to arbitration. They may, however, be processed to Step IV of the Grievance Procedure, and in such event the answer of the Board at Step IV shall be final and binding on the parties. It is agreed that this provision is not intended to limit the rights of the Superintendent or the Board to direct, select and assign personnel. Every reasonable attempt will be made to avoid any criticism initiated by a supervisor, administrator, or Board member of the performance of professional duties by a teacher(s) from being made in the presence of students, parents, or in public gatherings.

  • EMPLOYEE RIGHTS 19.1 The public has a right to expect efficient, fair, and impartial law enforcement. Therefore, any alleged misconduct by an employee of the UWPD must be thoroughly investigated to assure the maintenance of these qualities. Employees, too, must be protected against false allegations of misconduct and have the assurance that internal investigations will be conducted in a manner conducive to good order and discipline. 19.2 Every employee who is the subject of an internal affairs investigation or who is interviewed relating to a matter that could lead to discipline (dismissal, demotion, suspension without pay, reduction in pay, written reprimand, or verbal reprimand) of him/her shall be entitled to be represented by a designated Union representative of his/her choice. The employee to be interviewed shall be afforded reasonable time prior to the interview to consult with the Union representative. 19.3 Every employee who becomes the subject of an internal investigation shall be advised at the time of the interview who is in charge of the investigation and who will be conducting the interview. 19.4 The investigator shall apprise the employee of the complaint made against him/her, and allow the employee to read the allegations contained in the complaint.

Whenever possible, interviews will be scheduled during the normal workday of the employee. 19.6 The employee or the Employer may request that the interview be recorded, either mechanically or by a stenographer. There can be no "off the record" questions.
