Common use of Progressive and Corrective Discipline Clause in Contracts

Progressive and Corrective Discipline. a. The parties subscribe to the principles of progressive corrective discipline in cases in which it appears likely to successfully correct a member's unsatisfactory performance, conduct or behavior. However, progressive corrective discipline shall not be required in the case of serious infractions which justify immediate suspension, discharge, or in other cases in which it does not appear likely to result in successful correction. Nothing contained in the Agreement shall be construed to prevent the Employer from imposing Level 3 or Level 4 discipline immediately after informal hearing in appropriate cases, or from placing any employee on administrative leave pending further investigation. b. Disciplinary action shall range from ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ (▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇) to Level 4 (discharge), and any Level may be repeated or skipped depending on the circumstances of each case. 1) Level 1 will be for relatively minor problems where the member has had few, if any, prior problems. 2) Level 2 will be for repeat or frequent or multiple minor problems. 3) Level 3 will involve a suspension without pay for 1 to 10 work days and will be for more serious problems or for continuing problems after the member fails to respond to lesser discipline. 4) Level 4 will involve discharge and will be for serious problems or for continuing problems after the member fails to respond properly to Level 2 or Level 3 discipline.
