Discipline Procedure

11.1. Employee Representation
Employees may have a representative present at all stages of the disciplinary process, provided that the representative is not a party or witness to the action. When an employee is required to meet with a supervisor or manager and the employee reasonably anticipates that such meeting will involve questioning leading to disciplinary action (i.e., an investigatory interview), upon request, the employee is entitled to have a steward or other representative present. Upon request, the employee is entitled to know the general subject of any meeting the employee must attend.

Employees can request and designate their representative/attorney at any step of the discipline procedure. The request or designation at any step of the discipline procedure does not prevent an employee from requesting or designating a different representative/attorney to appear on the employee’s behalf at a subsequent step in the discipline procedure.

11.2. Progressive Discipline
The City applies the principle of progressive discipline where a disciplinary penalty will depend on multiple factors, including but not limited to the severity of the offense, recidivism, aggravating and/or mitigating circumstances, and the employee’s overall disciplinary history, if any. Disciplinary actions may be monetary and/or non-monetary. a) Warnings
Warnings are not considered discipline. Warnings may either be verbal or written reminders relating to the policy of the City and represents notice and an effort on the part of the City to assist employees with improving performance. Warnings may include confirmations of discussion, documented coaching and counseling meetings with written policy reminders, counseling memoranda, or performance improvement plans (PIP).
b) Reprimands
Reprimands will be removed from the employee’s personnel file one (1) year after the date of issuance, provided the conduct forming the basis for the reprimand has not recurred.
