# 2019-293 Careers, Recorded warning

Recorded warning (RW)

Case summary

F&R Date: 2021-02-19

The Committee found that, on a balance of probabilities, there is a lack of reliable evidence on which to base the identified deficiencies in the recorded warning (RW), as required under paragraph 4.1 of the Defence Administrative Orders and Directives 5019-4. The Committee found that removing the grievor from the Squadron Sergeant Major appointment did not qualify as a way to overcome the perceived deficiency. The Committee also found that the withdrawal of the chain of command's support towards the grievor's nomination on a specific team was more punitive in nature, rather than geared towards helping the grievor correct her alleged deficiencies. The Committee recommended that the RW be expunged from the grievor's file and that she be given another appointment opportunity as well as for re-nomination for the mentioned team.

FA decision summary

The Final Authority, the Acting Commander Canadian Army, agreed with the Committee's findings and recommendation to afford redress by directing that the recorded warning be expunged from the grievor's personnel files. The other recommended remedies were moot since the grievor was being released from the Canadian Armed Forces.
