Written Charges. Any charges against a faculty member resulting in or as a part of a disciplinary action, shall be reduced to writing, signed by the individual(s) making said charge, and made available to the faculty member at or before the time such disciplinary action is taken.
Written Charges. The Executive Director may file written charges for the removal of any employee stating the date upon which the dismissal will be effective. The Executive Director may suspend without pay the employee against whom charges are filed, until such time as the removal becomes final, as stated in the charges.
1. Any charges filed against any employee shall state specifically the cause or causes enumerated in this article or other cause considered sufficient to constitute grounds for removal, and in addition, the specific act or acts of the employee constituting such cause; provided, that in no case shall such vague and indefinite charges as "for the good of the service" be considered reason for removal. Upon filing any charges, the Executive Director shall mail one copy to the Union; one copy by certified mail to the last known address of the employee against whom the charges are brought, and/or personally deliver one copy to the employee. Such notice shall also advise the employee that he/she may, within thirty (30) days from the date on which such notice is mailed, appeal to a panel of the Board, in writing, for an opportunity to be heard in his/her own behalf.
2. At the request of the employee, a panel of the Board appointed by it, shall within ten (10) days if practicable, and in any case within thirty (30) days, conduct a hearing on the charges and the action of the Executive Director.
3. Within fifteen (15) calendar days after the completion of the hearing the panel shall approve, disapprove, or modify, as prescribed by law, the Executive Director's action. If unacceptable to the employee, he/she may proceed directly to arbitration as provided for in the grievance procedure.
Written Charges. A permanent classified employee who is recommended for suspension without pay or termination shall be given written notice of the specific charges. The employee shall be suspended without pay the day of service of the written charges, and all pay shall cease as of that date, and benefits shall continue until the end of the month in which the written charges are served upon the employee, unless specified otherwise by the district. If termination is recommended, this action may be ratified at a subsequent meeting of the Board of Trustees. The charges shall contain a statement of his/her rights to a hearing on such charges. The time within which such hearing may be requested shall not be less than seven (7) work days, or as otherwise mutually agreed, after service of the notice on the employee, and said notice shall be accompanied by a paper, the signing and filing of which with the superintendent or his/her authorized representative shall constitute a demand for a hearing and a denial of all charges. Failure of the employee to file a request for hearing within the time specified shall constitute a waiver of the employee’s right to a hearing and appeal.
