41 <br /> <br />ARTICLE 29 - DISCIPLINE AND DISCHARGE <br />The City is committed to the principle of just cause for discipline, including discharge. Discipline will be <br />appealable to the Everett Civil Service Commission to the extent provided for by the Commission's rules and <br />regulations. In cases of letters of reprimand, suspensions, demotions and terminations, the employee may appeal <br />the discipline through Article 6, Grievances; in the event of such grievance, the employee may not also appeal to <br />the Commission. <br />DISCIPLINARY FILE RECORDS <br /> <br />Disciplinary material in an employee’s personnel file will be considered in progressive discipline. Upon the <br />employee’s written request to the Fire Chief, documentation of oral reprimand or written reprimands will be <br />removed at seventy-two (72) months with the following exceptions, which shall supersede the provisions stated <br />above: <br />Any specific date for removal stated on the disciplinary document shall be followed. Discipline <br />for a violation of the City’s Administrative guidelines covering Harassment, Discrimination and <br />Workplace Violence shall not be removed from the employee file. <br />Any disciplinary action involving suspension, demotion or removal of pay equating to 48 hours or more <br />may not be removed. <br />Last Chance Agreements shall not be removed unless a removal date or circumstance is specified in the <br />document. <br />
