Severity of a Proposed Discipline Sample Clauses

The 'Severity of a Proposed Discipline' clause defines how the seriousness of a disciplinary action is determined and communicated within an organization. Typically, this clause outlines the factors considered when assessing the level of discipline, such as the nature of the misconduct, the employee's history, and the impact on the workplace. It may also specify procedures for notifying the employee and for appealing or reviewing the proposed discipline. The core function of this clause is to ensure that disciplinary measures are fair, consistent, and proportionate, thereby reducing the risk of arbitrary or excessive penalties.
Severity of a Proposed Discipline. In cases involving a proposal of discipline where the Panel finds that discipline is warranted, but the Administration’s proposal is too severe, the Panel shall refer the case back to the Respondent with a request for a different proposal. The Respondent shall have 7 days to present a revised proposal of discipline to the Panel. The Panel may then choose to uphold the Administration’s revised proposal of discipline or, if the Panel rejects the revised proposal, impose a written warning or a letter of reprimand, whichever discipline is deemed more appropriate by the Panel.

  • Discipline Procedure 1. Disciplinary action may be imposed for violation of written rules and regulations as set forth by the Board, incompetence, inefficiency, dishonesty, drunkenness, immoral conduct, insubordination, discourteous treatment of the public, neglect of duty, misfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance, any other failure of good behavior, or conviction of a felony. 2. No employee shall be disciplined without first having had the opportunity for a hearing, if the employee so requests, with an OAPSE representative of his/her choice present. The employee shall be given a written statement containing the charges and the time and place of the hearing. The written statement shall notify the employee of his/her rights to OAPSE representation. The employee must be given the opportunity to sign the statement acknowledging receipt of the statement and date received. Under emergency conditions as determined by the supervisor (including, but not limited to, health and/or safety of the employee or other employees; blatant insubordination; or refusal to work), the supervisor may immediately suspend an employee without pay for a period of up to three (3) work days without the formal hearing described above. An opportunity for a formal hearing with the supervisor must be provided within the suspension period. Failure to provide an opportunity for a hearing during the suspension period shall preclude the right of further discipline for the offense causing the initial suspension. Emergency suspensions will not be subject to Section 6 of this Article. 3. Disciplinary action of less than discharge should generally be progressive and corrective in nature. A. Disciplinary actions shall be grievable. This Section shall supersede existing state law governing termination of employment (O.R.C. 3319.081). B. In determining progressive and corrective action, just cause shall be construed and limited to the nature and seriousness of the offense, the effect the alleged conduct has on the Board’s operation, the discipline or lack thereof used in other similar situations known to the Board, and the appropriateness of the proposed penalty in view of the record and length of service of the charged employee. The enumeration of these factors is not intended to preclude either the exercise of good and sound business judgment or to minimize the importance of an employee’s property interest in his job.

In unusual circumstances, where it is necessary for the Employer to advise an employee by mail of discharge, the Union office will be mailed a copy of such notice. Absence of a Shop ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or Assistant Shop ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or another employee shall not invalidate the discipline, except in exceptional circumstances. 25.02 The affected employee, a Shop ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Union, shall be given a copy of any disciplinary notice which is to be entered on an employee's personnel file. The affected employee, the Shop ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and the Union shall also be given a copy of any discharge notice that is given to an employee. In all cases of discipline or discharge the Employer shall notify the affected employee, and a Shop ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Union in writing of the reasons for taking such action. The notice of discipline or discharge shall be given to the affected employee and a Shop ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ promptly and a copy of the discipline or discharge notice shall be forwarded to the Union office via fax within two (2) business days (excluding Saturday and Sunday and General Holidays) of the event. 25.03 Employees covered by this Agreement shall have access to their own personnel file, upon written request by the employee involved. Employees shall be able to obtain copies of their personnel file when requested, at the employee's expense. The Employer shall keep only one (1) personnel file per employee. (a) Employee’s written corrective action documentation(s) other than suspension will be taken from an employee’s file after fifteen (15) months should no similar offence have occurred during said period. (b) Employee’s suspension documentation(s) will be taken from an employee’s file after thirty (30) months should no similar offence have occurred during said period. (c) All documentation(s) including corrective action and suspension relating to incident(s) and/or complaint(s) of discrimination or harassment nature shall remain in an employee’s file.

  • Removal of Discipline Any reprimand notices or disciplinary measures will remain on the employee or owner operator's file for one year from the date of notice or reprimand unless there is a re- occurrence of the same or similar infraction. At the completion of the one year period, the reprimand or disciplinary notice will be removed from the file. Said files to be removed shall not be considered to be removed but shall be physically removed and destroyed. If a repeat infraction occurs within the one year period, the original and subsequent notices or reprimands will remain on the file for a further year from the date of the most recent notice or reprimand. Reprimand notices and disciplinary measures resulting from violations of a criminal or civil nature, including driving record, will remain part of the employee or owner operator's file indefinitely. Whenever an employee or owner operator signs a document pertaining to discipline, he/she does so only to acknowledge that he/she has been notified accordingly.
