DISCIPLINE AND DISMISSAL 27.01 The Employer may discipline, suspend or dismiss an employee for just cause only, except for the dismissal of a probationary Employee. Unsatisfactory conduct or performance by an Employee which is considered by the Employer to be serious enough to be entered on the Employee's record but not serious enough to warrant suspension or dismissal shall result in a written warning to the Employee and a copy to the Union within fifteen (15) days of the date the Employer first became aware of, or reasonably should have become aware of the occurrence of the act. The Union shall not deny a request by the Employer to extend the timelines due to availability of persons identified by the Employer to be interviewed. A written warning that is grieved and determined to be unjustified shall be removed from the Employee's record. 27.02 In the event an Employee is suspended or dismissed, the Employer shall provide written reasons for the suspension or dismissal to the Employee and the Union forthwith and in any event not later than five (5) days of the action being taken. The action or suspension or dismissal shall be within fifteen (15) days of the date the Employer first became aware of, or reasonably should have become aware of the occurrence of the act, giving rise to the suspension or dismissal. The Union shall not deny a request by the Employer to extend the timelines due to unavailability of persons identified by the Employer to be interviewed. When action involves a suspension, the notice shall specify the time period of the suspension. 27.03 An Employee who has been subject to disciplinary action may after two (2) years of continuous service from the date the disciplinary measure was invoked, request in writing that their personnel file be cleared of any record of the disciplinary action. Such request shall be granted provided the Employee's file does not contain any further record of disciplinary action during the two (2) year period of which the Employee is aware. The Employer shall confirm in writing to the Employee that such action has been effected. 27.04 The procedures stated in Articles 27.01, 27.02 and 27.03 do not prevent immediate suspension or dismissal for just cause. (a) An Employee required by the Employer to attend an investigation meeting or a disciplinary discussion shall be paid at the applicable rate of pay for time spent in that meeting. (b) Where circumstances permit, the Employer shall schedule a disciplinary discussion with the Employee by giving reasonable advance notice which shall not be less than twenty-four (24) hours. At such discussion an Employee may be accompanied by a representative of the Union. 27.06 In the event that an Employee is reported to their licensing body by the Employer, the Employee shall be so advised, and unless otherwise requested a written copy shall be forwarded to the Union forthwith. In the event, an Employee is reported to their licensing body, by someone other than the Employer, the Employee shall advise the Employer of such and the Employee may copy the Union on such notification. 27.07 An Employee absent for three (3) consecutive work days without good and proper reason and without notifying the Employer shall be considered to have terminated their Employment with the Employer. 27.08 For the purposes of this Article, periods of time referred to in days shall be deemed to mean consecutive calendar days exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and Named Holidays, which are specified in Article 19.
DISCIPLINE AND DISCHARGE A. Disciplinary actions or measures shall include but not be limited to the following: Oral Reprimand Written Reprimand Suspension - Maximum of 30 days (notice given in writing) Discharge - (notice given in writing) A demotion in classification may be substituted by the Employer in place of a suspension or a discharge; a disciplinary transfer may be made in lieu of an oral or written reprimand. Discipline shall be uniformly applied using a progressive disciplinary procedure, where appropriate. B. Disciplinary action may be imposed upon an employee only for failure to fulfill his/her responsibilities as an employee. Suspensions of less than ten (10) days and lesser disciplining actions may be administered by the Superintendent or his/her designee. C. No discipline of record shall be given to any employee until the employee has read the written statement and had an opportunity to attach a statement of explanation or rebuttal; or if the employee so desires, be given a hearing. At such hearing, the employee may have Union representation. The employee will be asked to sign the disciplinary report to signify knowledge of the statement only. The signature will not be interpreted to signify acceptance or denial of guilt of the charges or statement. D. Upon request by the employee, records of oral and written reprimands shall be removed from an employee's record twelve (12) months from the date of the offense and records of suspensions shall be removed from an employee's records two (2) years from the date of the offense. E. The Employer shall not discipline or discharge any employee without just cause. Any disciplinary action may be appealed through the grievance procedure. Steps of the grievance procedure may mutually be waived in order that the grievance may be filed with the person issuing such disciplinary actions.
SUSPENSION AND DISCIPLINE 21.01 Discipline may be imposed where just cause exists and will be levied in a timely fashion. Generally, discipline is intended to correct undesirable behaviour or conduct and, where appropriate, shall be progressive in nature. 21.02 Prior to any discipline being imposed, the employee will be given notice in writing to attend a meeting, during which there shall be an opportunity for full discussion between the employee and the employee’s Manager. The notice will contain the subject matter to be discussed at the meeting and the employee shall be advised of his/her right to have an Association representative attend as an advisor. The management representative also has the right to have a labour relations representative attend as an advisor. At the meeting the employee and the Association representative may make representations and ask questions concerning the events and circumstances. Unless otherwise agreed, the unavailability of an advisor will not delay the meeting for more than one (1) working day from the date of notification to the employee. 21.03 When an employee is required to attend a meeting, the purpose of which is to render a disciplinary decision concerning him or her, the employee is entitled to have, at his or her request, a representative of the Association attend the meeting. Where practicable, the employee shall receive a minimum of one (1) day’s notice of such a meeting. The Employer will agree where possible to an additional day of extension where the Association representative is unavailable. 21.04 The employee and the Association representative shall be notified in writing of any disciplinary action except an oral warning, taken against the employee by the Company within a reasonable period of time of that action having been taken. 21.05 When an employee is required to attend a meeting, the purpose of which is to demote or terminate him/her for non-disciplinary reasons, he/she is entitled to have, at his/her request, a representative of the Association attend the meeting. Where practicable, the employee shall receive a minimum of one (1) day’s notice of such a meeting. The Employer will agree where possible to an additional day of extension where the Association representative is unavailable. 21.06 When any discipline is found to be unjustified all documents referring to the discipline imposed shall be removed as soon as reasonably possible from the employee’s record and destroyed. 21.07 NAV CANADA agrees not to introduce as evidence in a hearing relating to disciplinary action any document or written statement concerning the conduct of an employee unless that employee has been provided with a copy of that document or statement within a reasonable period before that hearing. 21.08 Any document or written statement to disciplinary action, which may have been placed on the NAV CANADA file of an employee shall be removed and destroyed after two (2) years have elapsed since the disciplinary action was taken, provided that no further disciplinary action has been recorded during this period. The Employer shall inform the employee in writing of the destruction of any document or written statement related to disciplinary action. 21.09 The NAV CANADA Code of Business Conduct will not be interpreted as restricting an employee from exercising his or her obligations flowing from the ethical standards of the professional body to which the employee belongs. 21.10 NAV CANADA agrees to make available to each employee covered by this agreement the NAV CANADA Code of Business Conduct and any subsequent amendments made thereto. 21.11 Employees who, in good faith, raise a concern or report any clear or suspected illegal, unethical or improper acts or activities shall not be disciplined nor adversely affected as a result of reporting the violation.
