Re:                   Recommendation for Suspension —Unprofessional Conduct and Unsatisfactory Performance

 

 

On April 19th 2015, we met to discuss your excessive tardiness. As discussed, you have been consistently late to work, customer meetings, and internal meetings.  The attached chart of your attendance shows 9 weeks in the last year were without attendance variations.  This behavior negatively affects the SCCOE’s ability to serve our districts. Excessive tardiness is unprofessional and is prohibited by the SCCOE Code of Conduct, which you have read and signed (attached). Your actions resulted in great disruption for the Technology Resource Advisors/Applications Support team, resulting in a serious reduction of trust and credibility with our customers.  Please see attached chart demonstrating consistency of tardiness.

 

Directives

When not leading a training or at a customer meeting, you are expected to be at your workstation and ready to begin at 9:00 am (you are also expected to arrive at trainings and meetings at the expected start time).  If you are not able to be at your workstation by 9:00 am, you are to call me at 408-453-6726.  If I am not able to answer, you are to call Lucy Lopez at 408-453-XXXX.  In such circumstances, upon your arrival you are to immediately check in with me, or if I am not available, either Buck Rogers or Lucy Lopez.

 

In addition, you are to familiarize yourself with the SCCOE’s Living Our Values: Code of Conduct Handbook (attached), and especially review the section entitled, “Accountability and Reporting”, page 10.

 

Recommendation

A copy of this Notice will be placed in your personnel file ten (10) days after receipt.  You are entitled to respond and to have your response attached to this notice if received by the Human Resources Office within those 10 days. Failure to comply with the above directives may lead to further disciplinary actions up to and including additional suspension without pay and termination.
