Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The supervisor will be called upon to demonstrate that there was just cause for the suspension. Just cause means that there was a valid reason for the disciplinary action taken against the employee and that the employer followed proper procedures when imposing the suspension. The supervisor may also need to provide documented evidence to support their case. While equity and fairness of treatment is important, it is not the main focus of a just cause analysis in a grievance hearing. Reasonable review may be a consideration when reviewing the case, but again, it is not the main focus.
