The listing is not exhaustive, rather lists general behaviors or activities that <br /> would result in discipline. The policy and the AFSCME contract call for discipline to <br /> be progressive and meet the criteria of just cause. In the Public Works <br /> Department, all instances of employee discipline are coordinated through the <br /> department's Human Resource Manager. The Public Works HR Manager works in <br /> conjunction with the City's HR Manager and ensures fair and consistent treatment <br /> of employees. <br /> The City generally follows a progressive approach to discipline, beginning with <br /> coaching and counseling the employee, then elevating to oral and written <br /> reprimands, suspension, and finally termination. Prior to determining the level of <br /> discipline for a particular infraction across the organization, the department HR <br /> Manager reviews a print out of discipline issued for similar infractions, in addition to <br /> reviewing the performance and discipline history for the individual employee. <br /> All supervisors are trained on due process and just cause in a required class. <br /> Acfions to Comply: <br /> Evaluator Suggestions: <br /> Evaluator Requirements: <br /> <br /> APWA Self Assessment - 4th Edition # 2.27 Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br />
