# 2020-030 Careers, Counselling and probation, Recorded warning, Remedial measures

Case summary

F&R Date: 2020-10-05

The grievor challenged a recorded warning (RW) she was issued for allegedly making inappropriate comments about two of her supervisors and a counselling and probation (C&P) she was issued for allegedly making inappropriate comments about staff during a training course. As redress, she requested that the RW and C&P be quashed and removed from her personnel records.

The Initial Authority found that the remedial measures were warranted and issued in accordance with applicable policy and denied redress.

The Committee carefully examined the available evidence and determined that it supported the imposition of the remedial measures. Applying the applicable provisions of Defence Administrative Order and Directive (DAOD) 5019-4, Remedial Measures, to the grievor's situation, the Committee also found that the RW and the C&P were the most appropriate remedial measures in the circumstances.

The Committee rejected the grievor's claim that she was not afforded procedural fairness in the remedial measures process, finding no evidence that the initiating authority was biased or that the grievor was denied the opportunity to be heard. In all other respects, the Committee found that the remedial measures were administered in accordance with DAOD 5019-4.

Accordingly, the Committee recommended that the Final Authority not afford the grievor redress.

FA decision summary

The Chief of the Defence Staff agreed with the Committee's findings and recommendation not to afford the grievor redress.
