In the grievance which he filed with this Board, Mr. H. R.
Barkell who is employed in the Ministry as an Assessor 3,
complained that he had been unfairly issued a letter of reprimand
by his employer. That letter, written by his Manager, Mr. 0. G.
MacDonald, raised certain specific allegations about the grievor's
works which, in his view, indicated a certain degree of carelessness
or laziness.
After hearing the evidence of Mr. MacDonald in which he
elaborated on the specific complaints raised in his letter, and
the testimony of Mr. Barkell in which he conceded that in fact
he had made certain mistakes in his work, this Board adjourned
the hearing so as to allow the parties a further opportunity
to discuss this matter informally with this Board and with each
other. Following those discussions it was agreed that these
proceedings would be terminated on the understanding that the
letter issued to Mr. Barkell would stand as a valid reprimand
of his work performance and would, in addition, remain on his
file for a period of one year from the date of issuance. As
of that date, however, it was agreed that the letter would be
removed from his personnel file., So resolved, the proceedings
in this matter are hereby terminated.
Dated at Toronto this 21st day of December 1976.
