A. Employee supervisors and their superiors, as applicable, are responsible for administering disciplinary measures, when in the sole discretion of the appropriate supervisor, based on the facts and circumstances of the situation, discipline is warranted. Prior to the administration of any disciplinary action, the applicable supervisor may give the employee the opportunity to respond to the allegations made against the employee. Employees subject to discipline for being under the influence of, in possession of or consuming cannabis shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to contest the basis for the imposition of discipline. The disciplinary procedures set forth in this section apply to all employees, unless otherwise subject to a collective bargaining agreement. These policies and procedures should not be construed as preventing, limiting, or delaying the Village of Seneca from taking appropriate disciplinary action, including immediate dismissal without prior warning or notice, as the facts and circumstances warrant.
B. All discipline issued will be based on the applicable facts and circumstances, and at the level applicable in the sole and exclusive judgment of the applicable supervisor. (Ord. 20-03, 2-18-2020)
