Common use of Changing Disciplinary Status Clause in Contracts

Changing Disciplinary Status. The employee’s disciplinary status at the Written Warning level can be changed by both the passage of time and whether the employee commits additional violations. In imposing a Written Warning, all violations and discipline steps prior to the Written Warning must occur in a twelve (12) month period when the employee was “active for work”. Any Written Warning issued will remain in effect for twelve (12) months when the employee is “active for work”, with the exception noted below pertaining to Late Reports. If an employee does NOT commit another violation during the twelve (12) month Written Warning period when the employee is “active for work”, the employee will no longer be in a disciplinary status and the disciplinary documentation will be retired from the employee's personnel file. If the employee commits another violation, the employee may be placed in the next level of discipline. The employee will remain in that category of discipline for twelve (12) months when the employee is “active for work” unless the next level of discipline resulted in termination. If an employee does NOT commit another violation during the twelve (12) month period at the next level of discipline above the Written Warning, the employee will no longer be in a disciplinary status and the disciplinary documentation will be retired from the employee's personnel file. If the employee commits another violation, the employee may be placed in the next level of discipline which may include dismissal. However, with regard to discipline for an employee's traffic safety record, the Employer may take into account violations that occurred within the preceding thirty-six (36) months when the employee was “active for work”. The employee’s disciplinary status at the Written Warning level and above can be changed by both the passage of time and whether the employee commits additional violations.
