Appendix IX

Counseling

Counseling is an effort on the part of a supervisor to provide to an
employee, positively or negatively, significant feedback regarding on-the-

job activity. It is meant to be a positive communication device, clarifying
what has occurred and what is expected. Counseling is not disciplinary,

having constructive goals, such as assisting in employee development, or
teaching or modifying behavior. It involves face-to-face contact and out of

respect to the employee and the process, must be conducted in private.
Counseling is not viewed as a routine matter. When contemplating the

issuance of a follow-up memo, supervisors should consider if that level of
normal response is necessary or appropriate. Not all incidents require

counseling, not all counseling requires the issuance of a memo.
Consideration of this action may be appropriate for discussion with higher

levels of supervision and/or the personnel department. If such a memo is
issued to an employee, it must accurately describe the discussion and

clearly establish expectations for the future. Overall, counseling is viewed
as a supportive supervisory means of communication with employees.

Any grievances regarding counseling are grievable only to the extent
provided by Article 18 of the Agreement.
