The objective of this policy is to establish a standard disciplinary process for employees <br /> of the City. City employees will be subject to disciplinary action for failure to fulfill their duties <br /> and responsibilities at the level required, including observance of work rules and standards of <br /> conduct and applicable City policies. <br /> Discipline will be administered in a non-discriminatory manner. An employee who believes that <br /> discipline applied was either unjust or disproportionate to the offense committed may pursue a <br /> remedy through the grievance procedures established in the Cit�s personnel policies.The <br /> supervisor and/or the City Administrator will investigate any allegation on which disciplinary <br /> action might be based before any disciplinary action is taken. <br /> 13.2 No Contract Language Established <br /> This policy is not to be construed as contractual terms and is intended to serve only as a guide for <br /> employment discipline. <br /> 13.3 Process <br /> The City may elect to use progressive discipline, a system of escalating responses intended to <br /> correct the negative behavior rather than to punish the employee.There may be circumstances <br /> that warrant deviation from the suggested order or where progressive discipline is not <br /> appropriate. Nothing in these personnel policies implies that any City employee has a contractual <br /> right or guarantee (also known as a property right)to the job he/she performs. <br /> Documentation of disciplinary action taken will be placed in the employee's personnel file with a <br /> copy provided to the employee. <br /> The following are descriptions of the types of disciplinary actions: <br /> • Oral Reprimand <br /> • Written Reprimand <br /> • Suspension With or Without Pay <br /> • Demotion and/or Transfer <br /> • Salary Change <br /> • Discharge <br /> 40 <br />
