DISCHARGE OR SUSPENSION The Employer shall not discharge nor suspend any employee with- out just cause, but in respect to discharge or suspension shall give at least one (1) warning notice of a complaint against such employ- ee to the employee, in writing, and a copy of the same to the Union, except that no warning notice need be given to an employee before he/she is discharged if the cause of such discharge is dishonesty, drinking alcoholic beverages or being under the influence of drugs or in illegal possession of drugs during the workday (including meal period) or drunkenness, recklessness resulting in serious acci- dent while on duty, or the carrying of unauthorized passengers while on the job or offenses of equal seriousness. Except for seri- ous accidents, a driver will not be removed from the payroll during an investigation of an accident. The driver can be assigned to non-driving work during this period. Before disciplinary action is taken, a meeting shall be held with the employee and the employee shall have the right to choose a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ who is readily available and on the premises. In the case of discharge for any offense other than the above mentioned, including suspension, the disciplinary action will be held in abeyance for two (2) weeks to give the Local Union the opportunity to intervene prior to the action being taken. The warning notice, suspension or discharge as herein provided shall not remain in effect for a period of more than nine (9) months from the date of said warning notice, suspension or discharge. Any disciplinary action will list the violation(s) and be by proper written notice to the employee and the Union affected. Disci- plinary letters must be issued by the Company within ten (10) working days after the incident. Any employee may request an in- vestigation as to his/her discharge or suspension. Should such in- vestigation prove that an injustice has been done an employee, he/ she shall be reinstated. The C.P.A.P.G.C. or the impartial arbitrator shall have the authority to order full, partial or no compensation for time lost. Appeal from discharge or suspension must be taken with- in ten (10) days by written notice and a decision reached within thirty (30) days from the date of suspension or discharge. An em- ployee shall be given a copy of any Company form or document signed by the employee if requested. The Company will not use absenteeism or accidents in conjunction with any other disciplinary action.
Discharge Without Cause The Bank may discharge the Officer without Cause at any time after the occurrence of a Change of Control or Pending Change of Control, and in such event: (a) The Bank shall pay and deliver to the Officer (or in the event of his death before payment, to his estate and surviving dependents and beneficiaries, as applicable) the Standard Termination Entitlements. (b) In addition to the Standard Termination Entitlements: (i) During the Assurance Period, the Bank shall provide for the Officer and his dependents continued group life, health (including hospitalization, medical and major medical), dental, accident and long-term disability insurance benefits on substantially the same terms and conditions (including any required premium-sharing arrangements, co-payments and deductibles) in effect for them immediately prior to the Officer’s resignation. The coverage provided under this section 6(b)(i) may, at the election of the Bank, be secondary to the coverage provided as part of the Standard Termination Entitlements and to any employer-paid coverage provided by a subsequent employer or through Medicare, with the result that benefits under the other coverages will offset the coverage required by this section 6(b)(i). (ii) The Bank shall make a lump sum payment to the Officer (or, in the event of his death before payment, to his estate), in an amount equal to the value of the salary, bonus, short-term and long-term cash compensation that the Officer received in the calendar year preceding that in which the termination of employment with the Bank occurs to compensate the Officer for the payments the Officer would have received during the Assurance Period. Such lump sum shall be paid in lieu of all other payments of salary, bonus, short-term and long-term cash compensation provided for under this Agreement in respect of the period following any such termination. Such payment shall be made (without discounting for early payment) within thirty (30) days following the Officer’s termination of employment. The payments and benefits described in section 6(b) are referred to in this Agreement as the “Additional Change of Control Entitlements”.
Discharge for Cause If the Participant, prior to the Final Exercise Date, is discharged by the Company for “cause” (as defined below), the right to exercise this option shall terminate immediately upon the effective date of such discharge. “Cause” shall mean willful misconduct by the Participant or willful failure by the Participant to perform his or her responsibilities to the Company (including, without limitation, breach by the Participant of any provision of any employment, consulting, advisory, nondisclosure, non-competition or other similar agreement between the Participant and the Company), as determined by the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. The Participant shall be considered to have been discharged for “Cause” if the Company determines, within 30 days after the Participant’s resignation, that discharge for cause was warranted.
