DISCIPLINARY SYSTEM Clause Samples
The Disciplinary System clause establishes the procedures and standards for addressing employee misconduct or breaches of company policy. It typically outlines the steps for investigating alleged violations, the range of possible disciplinary actions (such as warnings, suspensions, or termination), and the rights of employees during the process. By providing a clear framework for handling disciplinary matters, this clause ensures fairness, consistency, and transparency in the workplace, helping to resolve issues efficiently and minimize disputes.
DISCIPLINARY SYSTEM. Section 1. The Employer shall follow the concept of progressive discipline, where appropriate. However, some misconduct justifies immediate suspension or dismissal. No employee will be disciplined without just cause. When an employee is advised that they will be questioned by Management and there is a reasonable expectation of disciplinary action for that employee, that employee has the right to request the presence of a Union representative. When the employee requests the presence of Union representation the Union representative will be afforded a reasonable opportunity to consult with the employee during the questioning. If an employee violates the Employer's work rules, disciplinary action may be necessary, including the following steps:
1. Informal counseling by a supervisor.
2. A verbal reprimand (documented).
DISCIPLINARY SYSTEM. 1. If a driver’s record check shows that a Regular Driver has six (6) points or more or multiple citations in a three (3) year period, the steps, outlined below, will be followed for those drivers. However, the circumstances of the employee’s specific position and the business needs of the Library will be the primary considerations in proceeding in such circumstances.
2. Six (6) points or multiple violations in a three (3) year period will require an employee’s name to be removed from the Regular Drivers’ list. Successful completion of a mandatory defensive driving course, at the employee’s expense, will reinstate an employee’s name and status as a Regular Driver. The driver’s record will then be checked semi-annually for one (1) year. If another citation is earned during that period (whether for points or not when he/she has six (6) points), the driver will no longer be eligible to drive a Library vehicle or drive a personal vehicle on Library business. Occasional drivers may use public transportation on work time to attend required work assignments if they are no longer eligible to drive. The Library will assign other custodial, non-driving duties as may be available at Main and Lakeshore for no more than two custodians at Main and for no more than one custodian at Lakeshore for a maximum of three months. If the employee’s record is not cleared during this three-month period, the employee can take a personal leave of up to nine months where he/she can bid for non-driving duties. If the employee’s driving record is not cleared after the end of such nine-month period, the employee shall be removed from the seniority list.
3. Employees whose driver’s check indicates a suspended/revoked license shall be immediately withdrawn from driving Library vehicles and may be subject to discipline, up to and including termination.
4. Employees found to have DUI, DWI, or Reckless Operation citations and points on their driver’s records may be removed from their driving responsibilities, from any Library position that requires driving and may be subject to discipline, up to and including termination. Points and/or citations noted on an employee’s record in a record check that were not previously communicated to the Library could subject the employee to discipline, up to and including termination.
5. Actions regarding a driver’s record will be formally noted in his/her employee record.
