^-`+,r���� <br /> �v^ <br /> ATTACHMENT # 5 <br /> '`- <br /> There is a difference in the State Personnel Ordinance and the County <br /> Personnel Ordinance. Under the State Personnel Ordinance there is no place <br /> _ <br /> for oral warning or oral warning with a follow-up letter to be placed in <br /> an employee's file. There is also no avenue for an employee to file a <br /> grievance to the letter being placed in their personnel file. The County <br /> Ordinance however does not set out this procedure with an oral warning <br /> for first offence and an oral warning with a follow-up letter to be placed <br /> in the employee's personnel file for the second warning. There is a pro- <br /> cedure for the employee to follow in a grievance procedure if he or she <br /> believes that the warning is not warranted' This brings about a problem <br /> with departments that are state and county combined such as the Health <br /> Department and Social Services. The best example of the problem comes <br /> '� . <br /> when a department head issues an oral warning with a follow-up letter and <br /> the employee files a grievance as to who would hear and rule on the <br /> grievance. The gap within this would be closed if these departments were <br /> brought under the County Personnel Ordinance up to the point of the employee <br /> being dismissed, demoted or suspended. <br /> — —'- <br />
