STATEMENT OF INTENT - NOTICE Clause Samples
The "Statement of Intent - Notice" clause defines the requirement for parties to formally communicate their intentions regarding the agreement. Typically, this clause outlines how and when such notices must be delivered, specifying acceptable methods such as email, mail, or in-person delivery, and may set timeframes for providing notice. Its core function is to ensure that all parties are clearly informed of significant decisions or changes, thereby reducing misunderstandings and providing a reliable record of communications.
STATEMENT OF INTENT - NOTICE. The provisions of this Title have been amended and supplemented from time to time. Company and Union have now revised and consolidated this Title in its entirety to provide a concise procedure for the resolution of disputes. It is the intent of both Company and Union that the processing of disputes through the grievance procedure will give meaning and content to the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The parties are in agreement with the policy expressed in the body of our nation's labor laws that the mutual resolution of disputes through a collectively bargained grievance procedure is the hallmark of competent industrial self-government. Therefore, apart from those matters that the parties have specifically excluded by way of Section 9.2, all disagreements shall be resolved within the scope of the grievance procedure. Union agrees to provide grievant(s) with a copy of any settlement reached at the grievant's last known address. Such copy shall be sent by certified, U.S. mail, or handed to the grievant, within 30 calendar days of the signing of the settlement.
STATEMENT OF INTENT - NOTICE a. The District and Union have implemented a Positive Discipline Program through a separate Memorandum of Agreement dated March 9, 1993, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. It is a total performance management system that supports the parties’ belief that employees should be recognized for their successes and relies on personal responsibility and decision making to build commitment and self-discipline. When employees perform their work well, they deserve recognition. When they do not, they should receive counseling and be given an opportunity to improve. Key aspects of the Positive Discipline Program include recognizing and encouraging good performance and correcting that which does not meet expectations. It focuses on communicating an expectation of change and improvement in a personal, adult, non-threatening way, while maintaining a commitment to RT’s performance requirements.
b. It is the intent of the Union and the District that the grievance procedure will support the meaning and content of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and Positive Discipline Program through a concise procedure for resolution of disputes. It is, therefore, the stated purpose of this procedure to:
1. Avoid grievances and misunderstandings;
2. Orally handle as many grievances as possible within the framework of this Agreement;
3. Expeditiously investigate and quickly dispose of such grievances or problems.
STATEMENT OF INTENT - NOTICE.
