Common use of Verbal Reprimands Clause in Contracts

Verbal Reprimands. In the event that the appointing authority determines that a deficiency in performance or conduct is not of sufficient magnitude to warrant a more formal disciplinary action, an oral warning may be given to the employee, which should include examples of corrective actions which should be taken to improve performance or conduct in question. A confidential, written record shall be made of such conferences with a copy provided to the employee. This written record may not be used against an employee to determine the severity of future discipline if the employee has received no further verbal reprimands or written reprimands within three years of the initial verbal reprimand. An employee may request the City Manager to remove the written record from his/her personnel file after the written record has been in the file for one (1) year. However, any disciplinary action item removed after one year will be maintained in a separate secured file and shall be considered as part of the disciplinary record for further incidents within three years of the date of the first incident.
