IMMEDIATE DISCIPLINE. This article shall not operate as a bar to immediate suspension, demotion, reduction in pay, or dismissal where an employee's conduct or performance warrants such action and where such action is permissible under law. Sec. 2104 LETTERS OF EXPECTATION: A Letter of Expectation is an action intended to correct a deficiency, such as excessive tardiness. A Letter of Expectation is also a step in the corrective action process, not considered discipline and, thus, not grievable. In the event an employee’s performance is unsatisfactory or needs improvement, a Letter of Expectation may be provided by the employee’s first level supervisor. A copy shall be given to the employee and a copy filed in his/her personnel file. Provided no reoccurrence of the deficiency or letter/report for similar deficiencies has been issued during the intervening period, each letter shall be removed from the employee’s file at the end of two years, if requested by the employee.
