Section 4. In case of a suspension or discharge or a formalized disciplinary meeting, the employee shall have the right to have his steward present and, upon request, will be permitted to discuss his suspension or discharge with the steward in the area made available by the City before he is required to leave the premises. Within twenty-four (24) hours of the date of a suspension or discharge, the City shall deposit with the regular U.S. Mail, a certified letter to the involved employee stating the reasons for disciplinary action taken, and shall hand deliver a copy of the same to the Union Officer or Steward. Disciplinary action may be appealed by the Union Through the Grievance Procedure commencing a step 2 of the Grievance Procedure. An employee who desired to protest the disciplinary action must make an election within ten (10) calendar days following receipt of written notice as to whether he wishes to pursue the grievance procedure. (a) When an employee is given a disciplinary action including a reprimand, the employee will receive a copy of the disciplinary notice placed in the Personnel file maintained by the appropriate Director of his designee. (b) In imposing discipline on a current charge, the City will not base progressive discipline on prior disciplinary action which is more than two (2) years old, except for prior disciplinary action involving cases of violence or theft. (c) The official personnel files will be located in the Office of the Department Director or his designee. No notice will be required to inspect the file by the Union Officer or employees, except that the Union is limited to the last fifteen (15) minutes of the work shift. The employee may inspect his file during his non-working hours, but in any event should the department Director or his Secretary not be available for a file inspection visit, his inability to inspect the file at the time shall not be the basis of a grievance. (d) The City shall insure that all disciplinary documents placed in an employee's official personnel file shall be first initialed and dated by the employee concerned. The initiating of any materials to be placed into any employee's official personnel record does not infer as to the contents of the material, but does acknowledge that he has seen it. 5 ,•k°a?..»,4"`+x r,.,c;.?y.Km?sr..a,..- ., .. .. ... ,-.-"'SV? .. .. a?s?+^<,.r..? ....... . . ... .. ? .. .. .. ..?- _. ??..y{?.mw>.? w .., ._. . .. . _.. . ? . . .. .. .. ..?..., .. _?
