Document Summary
The basic building blocks of a just cause arbitration law. Did the ee apologize: saying sorry even though they did not mean it. Are there any personal factors explaining the ee"s behaviour? ix: what would be the personal and economic impact on the ee of losing their job, progressive discipline: i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. Verbal warning -> written warning -> written notice and suspension w/o pay -> further notices and longer suspension and may include loss of benefits and seniority as well as loss of pay -> dismissal. Gradually increasing penalties will usually correct the behaviour of the ee. If the ee"s behaviour does not improve, then dismissal is the last resort. However, if the ee"s single misconduct is very serious, the er may immediately dismiss the ee. Culminating incident: an er and arbitrator may consider the whole record of discipline in determining what penalty is appropriate for the final act(s) of misconduct.
