Dismissal and Suspension (a) The Employer may dismiss or suspend for just cause any employee who has completed their probationary period. Notice of dismissal or suspension will be in writing and will set forth the reasons for dismissal or suspension and an employee will have the right to have a xxxxxxx present, providing that this does not result in an undue delay of the appropriate action being taken. A copy of the written notice of suspension or dismissal will be forwarded to the President of the Union or the designated staff representative within five working days. (b) A suspension of indefinite duration will be considered a dismissal under 11.2(a) above as soon as it exceeds 20 days and any grievance already filed will be considered henceforth as a dismissal grievance.
Dismissal for Cause The following procedures shall apply in all cases of dismissal for cause: 19.3.1 The employment of an academic staff member may be terminated by reason of professional misconduct, wilful neglect of duties, or incompetence as demonstrated by annual review reports. 19.3.2 Except in the case of professional misconduct, due warning in writing shall be given by the Xxxx to the academic staff member pointing out the gravity of the situation and the possibility of termination if the problem is not corrected. In cases where no action is taken subsequent to the written warning and where no further warnings have been issued during three years, the Xxxx shall, upon request of the member, add a written note to the member's official file reflecting the member's current status in relation to the original letter of warning. Any written warning or response pertaining to this clause which is more than three years old, providing there have been no intervening written warnings of any kind, shall be removed from the official file. Notwithstanding the above, upon request by a member to the Xxxx, such material may be removed before the three-year period expires. 19.3.3 When it is to be recommended that an academic staff member be dismissed for cause, the member personally shall be given notice in writing, at a meeting where a Faculty Association representative is present, that seven days from the date of the notice, the Xxxx shall formally recommend to the President that the member be dismissed. In the event that it is not possible to personally present the member with the notice the Xxxx shall forward the notice by registered mail, airmail if appropriate, to the last known address of the member. Such mailed notice shall provide for a period of fourteen calendar days from the date the notice is sent until the formal recommendation to the President. A copy of the mailed notice shall be sent to the Faculty Association. When it is unlikely that the academic staff member will receive the mailed notice within fourteen days, the Faculty Association may request an extension of seven days to the notice period. The notice to the member shall contain a complete statement of the grounds for the recommendation to dismiss. From the date the notice is given, the member may be relieved of all duties by the Xxxx. 19.3.4 If the academic staff member or the Faculty Association requests it, the President shall convene a meeting during the notice period specified in 19.3.3 attended by the member (if available), the Xxxx, the department head (if applicable) and a representative of the Faculty Association to hear whatever representation any of the parties wishes to make concerning the intended dismissal. The meeting shall be without prejudice to the interest of any person attending, or to the formal grievance process. 19.3.5 At the end of the notice period, the Xxxx shall either: (a) inform the academic staff member in writing with a copy to the Faculty Association that the action is discontinued OR (b) formally recommend in writing to the President, with a copy to the academic staff member and to the Faculty Association, that the member be dismissed. 19.3.6 Upon receipt of a formal recommendation from a Xxxx to dismiss an academic staff member, the President shall, within seven calendar days of the date of the recommendation, inform the member in writing, with a copy to the Faculty Association, either that the action is discontinued or that the dismissal action is proceeding. 19.3.7 In the case of dismissal for reasons other than professional misconduct and unauthorized absence from campus, from the date of the President's letter the academic staff member is suspended with pay for twenty-one days. In cases of dismissal for professional misconduct or unauthorized absence from campus, the member may be suspended without pay for twenty-one days from the date of the President's letter. At any time during a suspension the member may be relieved of all duties. If the academic staff member or the Faculty Association does not enter a grievance within the twenty-one day period, the member's employment is terminated at the end of the period. If a grievance is entered, the member remains suspended (continuing with pay or without pay as the case may be) until the resolution of the grievance. If the grievance is not upheld the member's employment is terminated. As provided in Article 22.2, while on suspension the member's non- salary benefits are not to be withheld. If the member is suspended with pay, the member is responsible for the normal share of benefit costs. If the suspension is without pay the University shall assume payment of all costs, but if salary is subsequently restored the member shall be charged the normal share of costs from the effective date of salary restoration. 19.3.8 All correspondence to the academic staff member required by this clause shall be delivered directly to the member where convenient, and in other cases forwarded by registered mail, airmail if appropriate, to the last known address of the member. The copies for the Faculty Association shall be delivered to the Chair or, in the Chair's absence, to an officer of the Faculty Association. 19.3.9 Failure to act within the time limits set out above shall constitute waiver of rights except where a party, acting in good faith, clearly was unable to do so. The onus is on the party violating the time limits to show cause why it was unable to act prior to the time that the action is now taken.

In the event of a suspension of services, the Architect shall have no liability to the Owner for delay or damage caused the Owner because of such suspension of services.

The Architect’s fees for the remaining services and the time schedules shall be equitably adjusted. § 9.3 If the Owner suspends the Project for more than 90 cumulative days for reasons other than the fault of the Architect, the Architect may terminate this Agreement by giving not less than seven days’ written notice. § 9.4 Either party may terminate this Agreement upon not less than seven days’ written notice should the other party fail substantially to perform in accordance with the terms of this Agreement through no fault of the party initiating the termination. § 9.5 The Owner may terminate this Agreement upon not less than seven days’ written notice to the Architect for the Owner’s convenience and without cause. § 9.6 If the Owner terminates this Agreement for its convenience pursuant to Section 9.5, or the Architect terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3, the Owner shall compensate the Architect for services performed prior to termination, Reimbursable Expenses incurred, and costs attributable to termination, including the costs attributable to the Architect’s termination of consultant agreements. § 9.7 In addition to any amounts paid under Section 9.6, if the Owner terminates this Agreement for its convenience pursuant to Section 9.5, or the Architect terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3, the Owner shall pay to the Architect the following fees:
TEN TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION CONTRACTOR shall be considered in material default of this Agreement and such default will be considered cause for OWNER to terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, as further set forth in this section, for any of the following reasons: (a) failure to begin work under the Agreement within the times specified under the Notice(s) to Proceed, or (b) failure to properly and timely perform the services to be provided hereunder or as directed by OWNER, or (c) the bankruptcy or insolvency or a general assignment for the benefit of creditors by CONTRACTOR or by any of CONTRACTOR's principals, officers or directors, or (d) failure to obey laws, ordinances, regulations or other codes of conduct, or (e) failure to perform or abide by the terms or spirit of this Agreement, or (f) for any other just cause.

Suspension notices shall remain in effect for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) calendar months from the date of the suspension notice. Any employee receiving three (3) suspension notices within fifteen (15) calendar months may be discharged with cause; however, this shall not be construed as requiring a specified number of suspension notices before discharge may be imposed. 10.3: All suspensions and/or discharges issued by designates of the Sheriff shall be reviewed by the Sheriff or his designee within twenty-four (24) hours following the suspension and/or discharge.
