Procedures and Safeguards Sample Clauses

The "Procedures and Safeguards" clause outlines the specific steps and protective measures that parties must follow to ensure compliance and minimize risks within an agreement. Typically, this clause details the processes for handling sensitive information, responding to incidents, or conducting certain activities, and may require regular audits, reporting, or adherence to industry standards. Its core function is to establish clear protocols that protect the interests of all parties and reduce the likelihood of errors, breaches, or disputes.
Procedures and Safeguards. 7.7.1 The Agency may conduct investigations to discover the facts and circumstances surrounding any complaint, allegation, or suspicion of wrongdoing by a bargaining unit employee. However, the Agency will take precautions to protect the rights and privacy of personnel being investigated. 7.7.2 Investigations conducted by the Agency will not commit any act which would deprive the bargaining unit employee of any statutory or constitutional rights or privileges. 7.7.3 The Employer will provide the employee with copies of all personnel orders pertaining to bargaining unit employees as soon as the personnel orders are issued. As used in this section "personnel orders" shall be defined as all written notices of actual disciplinary actions (notices of intent to take disciplinary actions), transfer notices, promotion notices and termination notices. 7.7.4 A bargaining unit employee shall be required to answer only those questions specifically relating to such employee’s duties and responsibilities within the scope of his/her employment, and acts or conduct (on or off the job) which adversely affects the employee's performance and/or the employing agency's performance or function. 7.7.5 The employee shall be entitled to such reasonable intermissions as he/she shall request for personal necessities. 7.7.6 The interview of the employee shall be during regular business hours. With the exception of telephone interviews, interviews shall take place at Employer facilities, or elsewhere if mutually agreed unless an emergency exists which requires the interview to be conducted elsewhere. No employee shall be scheduled for interviews on his/her day off; however, any employee who is interviewed off duty will be compensated. 7.7.7 The employee under investigation must, at the time of an interview, be informed of the name of the individual in charge of the investigation and the name of the individual who will be conducting the interview. At the State Fire Marshal’s Office, the investigating officer and the individual who will be conducting the interviews shall be one of the District Chief Deputies, the Chief Investigator, or the Fuels Division Manager. An investigating officer may do both duties. At any time an investigation of a complaint, allegation or suspicion of wrongdoing by a bargaining unit employee is determined to involve a violation of a criminal law, the investigation shall be turned over to the Nebraska State Patrol.
