The imposition of discipline without just cause by the Division or any agent thereof in the form of written warning(s) and/or suspensions with or without pay, shall be subject to the following provisions:
Where the Division or person(s) acting on behalf of the Division so disciplines any person covered by this Collective Agreement and where the affected person is not satisfied that the discipline is for just cause, the Division's action shall be deemed to be a difference between the parties to or persons bound by this Collective Agreement under Article 4 in Provision For Settlement of Disputes During Life Of Agreement.
When such a difference is referred to a Division of Arbitration under Article 4, the Division of Arbitration shall have the power to:
a) uphold the discipline
b) rescind the discipline
c) vary or modify the discipline
d) order the Division to pay all or part of any loss of pay and/or benefits in respect of the discipline
e) do one or more of the things set out in subclauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) above.
This Article does not apply to the teacher assessment and evaluation process pursuant to Division policy and practices and amendments thereto, except to the extent that any such assessment or evaluation is used as the basis of, or in connection with, disciplinary action.
The Association agrees that the Division has the right to suspend an employee with or without pay for just cause.
