# 2021-007 Careers, Remedial measures

Case summary

F&R Date: 2021-11-24

The grievor received an initial counselling (IC) for conduct. She grieved the administration process and procedural aspects of the IC, namely that there were no progress briefings and no closing letter for the remedial measure.

The Initial Authority (IA) acknowledged that the grievor did not receive feedback during the monitoring period. He also noted that the grievor corrected the inappropriate conduct and therefore achieved the desired result. He concluded that although the administration of the follow-up did not occur, it did not impede the desired result. The IA found that the grievor was treated fairly and in the spirit of the applicable policy.

The Committee found that the intent of the relevant policy, Defence Administrative Order and Directive 5019-4, was met by the IC issued to the grievor. The Committee also found that while there was a minor deviation from the policy in the administration of the progress briefings, this did not invalidate the IC. The Committee recommended that the Final Authority (FA) not afford the grievor redress.

FA decision summary

The FA, the Commander Royal Canadian Army, agreed with the Committee's findings and recommendation that no redress be afforded to the grievor.
