MORRISON AND MARY WILEY LIBRARY GRIEVANCE AND DISCIPLINE POLICY
GRIEVANCE
Employees
having grievances arising out of their employment with the library shall have
the right to appeal to the Head Librarian.
When
any employee, regardless of their job, feels that their grievance has not
received due consideration during the in person conference, they are to place
their grievance in writing and submit it to the Head Librarian.
In
the event the matter is not satisfactorily handled, the employee may then
request, in writing, that the Head Librarian submit the matter to the Library Board
of Trustees. At this time, after the
reading of the request by the Head Librarian, the President of the Library Board
of Trustees shall appoint a committee to investigate all phases of the
situation. In all cases, this
investigation will include personally interviewing the employee concerned and
the Library Director, as well as any other individuals that may have
information about the issue. After the
committee has completed the investigation, it will then report to the Library Board
of Trustees within two weeks of the start of the investigation. The employee concerned, if he or she so
desires, may present his/her case at this meeting.
The decision of the Library
Board of Trustees is final.
DISCIPLINE
If an
issue with an employee of the library arises the Head Librarian will discuss
the issue with the employee. If the same
issue arises a second time the Head Librarian will meet with the employee
again. This will constitute a Verbal
Warning. During this meeting, the
Library Director and employee will come up with a list of ways to rectify the
issue. If the issue arises again the Head
Librarian will give the employee a Written Warning including what action the
employee will take to rectify the issue.
If the issue is not rectified the Head Librarian may Suspend the
employee. During the Suspension, the Head
Librarian will present all information to the Library Board of Trustees, who will
make the decision whether or not to terminate the employee.
The
decision of the Library Board of Trustees is final.
