NOTIFICATION OF FORMAL DISCIPLINARY ACTION/WRITTEN JUSTIFICATION FOR DISCIPLINE FOR CAUSE. If the supervisor has reason to discipline a Bargaining Unit Employee, they shall make a reasonable effort to impose such discipline in a timely manner. In the case of any written reprimand (written warning), suspension, economic sanction, or termination/discharge for cause, the Employer shall give a copy of the disciplinary action to the employee and send a copy to the Union, stating the reasons for the discipline. The document shall include a line for the signature of the employee and the immediate supervisor or manager responsible for the decision to issue discipline, including the following notice: “Signing this document indicates that you have received a copy of the document but does not indicate that you agree or disagree with its contents. You may have the right to contest this action through filing a grievance, if you believe this action violates the Union contract. You may contact your Union advocate or the SEIU Healthcare 775NW office at 1-866-371- 3200.” The lack of the employee’s signature on the notice shall not be grounds for nullifying or challenging the notice or any ensuing disciplinary action where reasonable evidence shows that the Employer attempted to inform the employee of the investigation, pending or actual discipline.
