Common use of Right to Due Process Clause in Contracts

Right to Due Process. A. No employee shall be formally disciplined without just cause. Formal discipline is defined as disciplinary action which results in a written record being placed in the employee's personnel file. Matters involving probation, adverse contract changes (including nonrenewal and discharge of a supplemental/extracurricular contract) shall not be considered formal disciplinary action for purposes of this section. B. The specific grounds forming the basis for the formal disciplinary action will be made available to the employee, and to the Association, upon written request of the employee. C. Employees shall be given prior notification of their right to have a representative of the Association present during any formal disciplinary action. When a request for representation is made, no action shall be taken with respect to the employee until such representative of the Association is present, provided that no more than a 24-hour delay is incurred by unavailability of such representative.
