    Study Notes

    Disciplinary Action Overview

    • Disciplinary action is permissible only for just cause.
    • Notification of discipline or discharge must be in writing and delivered within ten business days of the incident or management’s awareness.

    Notification Protocol

    • Management must inform the affected employee within the ten-day timeframe to support just cause determinations by arbitrators.
    • Failure to notify timely may impact the justification for disciplinary actions.

    Effective Date of Discipline

    • The effective date of any discipline is marked by the employee's signature on the written communication that acknowledges receipt of the notification.

    Grievance Procedure Impact

    • If a grievance is filed regarding the discipline, that action will not be included in the personnel file until the grievance process concludes.
    • Should the grievance result in rescinding the discipline, records will be appropriately stamped and archived in the personnel file.

    Promotional Considerations

    • Disciplinary records older than two years, or older than one year for reprimands or counseling, will not be reviewed by interview boards during promotions.

    Discharge Definition

    • A discharge is treated as a suspension without pay until the completion of Step 3 of the grievance process.
