(3) Suspension or Discharge.<br />

In order to formally suspend an employee without pay or to discharge him or her,<br />

the following procedures apply:<br />

STEP 1: A <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Manager or Superior <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Officer may propose<br />

suspending or discharging an employee.<br />

STEP 2: If <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Manager or Superior <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Officer decides<br />

to act upon the suspension or discharge proposal, the <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Manager or<br />

Superior <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Officer will submit the matter to the Law Department<br />

designate for legal review <strong>and</strong> comment. As a result of information<br />

presented in a Corrective Action Meeting a Law Department representative,<br />

functioning in an advisory capacity to the <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Manager or<br />

Superior <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Officer, will assist the <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Manager or<br />

Superior <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Officer in preparing for a Corrective Action Meeting<br />

(CAM), formerly the Pre-Suspension Meeting.<br />

STEP 3: A CAM will be held at a time, date <strong>and</strong> location stipulated in the<br />

notice. The <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Manager or Superior <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Officer or<br />

his/her designee, the employee, a representative of the employee's choice (which may<br />

include the union representative if represented by a collective bargaining unit), <strong>and</strong><br />

a legal <strong>and</strong>/or labor representative of the <strong>Park</strong> District will attend.<br />

Ordinarily, witnesses will not attend this meeting. The purpose of the CAM is to<br />

give the employee an informal opportunity to respond to the charges before any<br />

decision to impose disciplinary action is made.<br />

STEP 4: After evaluating the information obtained in the CAM, the<br />

<strong>Human</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Manager or Superior <strong>Human</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Officer in consultation<br />

with the Law Department will decide what disciplinary action, if any, will be<br />

imposed.<br />

STEP 5: The employee will be notified of the charges <strong>and</strong> that a suspension<br />

or discharge has been proposed by a CAM/Discharge Notice, which will be<br />

served on the employee. Except where necessary (see Part IV below), all<br />

proposed suspensions or discharges must be processed through a CAM.<br />
