Common use of SUB PRINCIPALS AND RANK & FILE Clause in Contracts

SUB PRINCIPALS AND RANK & FILE. If any member, the Principal Conductor, the Orchestral Manager or the Chief Executive, is concerned about either the professional conduct or the playing standard of one of the members, it should be discussed with the Chief Executive who shall decide whether or not to raise it with all relevant Section Principals. If the Section Principal is in agreement about the specific problem that has been raised, the Chief Executive should raise the matter with the member concerned, citing the specific cause(s) of concern. The discussion will be confirmed in writing within seven days. If a minimum of three months or nine concerts (whichever is longer) remain before the end of the current 12 month period of work, the member will be given until the end of that current 12 month period of work to improve their playing/conduct. If after that time sufficient improvement has not been made, the member will not be offered further work as a regular player with Manchester Camerata. Judgement will be made by the Chief Executive in discussion with the Principal Conductor and relevant Section Principal. If less than three months or nine concerts remain until the end of the current 12 month period, the member will be offered regular work with Manchester Camerata for the following 12 month period, but will be expected to improve their performance/conduct to an acceptable level within that period. The Chief Executive, in discussion with the Principal Conductor and relevant Section Principal, will decide whether or not to offer the member further regular work with Manchester Camerata. If the Principal Player does not agree that there is a problem and the matter cannot be resolved through discussion between the Chief Executive and the Section Principal, the Chief Executive reserves the right to take appropriate action.
