Common use of Statement of Charges Clause in Contracts

Statement of Charges. A statement of the specific charges against the worker shall be written in ordinary and concise language of the specific acts and omissions on which the disciplinary action is based and shall include the cause and any rules and regulations, which have been violated. No charge, however, shall be made for a cause which occurred prior to the worker’s becoming permanent nor more than two years from the filing of this statement of charges, unless such cause was concealed or not disclosed by such worker when it could be reasonably assumed that the worker should have disclosed the facts to the District. The statement of charges shall be served in person or by registered or certified mail to the worker. A copy shall be sent to the Union simultaneously; however, inadvertent failure to comply with this requirement shall not constitute reason to affect ultimate disciplinary action, if any. The statement shall also include the disciplinary action being recommended.
