Jasper, Alta., municipal worker's firing
'excessive' after 1 day missed: Arbitrator
No progressive discipline
harmed employer's case
WHEN A SEASONAL driver missed a single
day's work and he didn't notify his supervisor, a
Jasper, Alta., city employee was terminated with
cause.
Richard Hart had worked with the municipality
for 17 months as a solid waste driver in the sum-
mer and a heavy equipment operator in the winter
months, when on Dec. 9, 2015, he failed to show
up for his regular shift.
"We have concluded that you were absent from
work on Dec. 9 without taking adequate and prop-
er steps to notify your supervisor and to seek ap-
proval to be away on a scheduled day of work. We
also found your purported explanation for failing
to report your absence to be less than candid and
forthright," said a termination letter given to Hart
on Dec. 16.
