PORAC LDF I.A. RULES Always consult with an association representative/lawyer before responding to any report, letter, memo and/or questions concerning an investigation which could possibly lead to punitive action. If ordered to do so ask to have it recorded and read the following: NON-WAIVER STATEMENT: “I have been refused the right to have a representative of my choice. I understand that I am being ordered to make a report or answer questions and that if I do not comply with the order, I may be disciplined for insubordination. Therefore, I have no alternative but to abide by the order. However, by so doing, I do not waive my Constitutional rights to remain silent under the 5th and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution, under the protections afforded me under case law.” PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Some Places Are Far Worse By Laren Leichliter I attended an association leadership conference a few weeks ago where association leaders from all over the country and Canada were in attendance. While at the conference I gave a presentation on crisis and how it affects the association and its members. There were two other Association Presidents on the panel with me. The first was from the Massachusetts State Troopers Association and the second was the Newtown Police Association. All three associations had their own type of crisis within the past year. Our crisis was the loss of Detective Jeremiah Mackay and the severe injuries of Deputy Alex Collins. Newtown had the Sandy Hook School shooting and Massachusetts had the Boston Marathon bombing. These three tragedies may seem totally different in scope, but when it comes down to how each of these tragedies affected the Peace Officers of each department, they were very closely related. All of these events took a toll on all of the Peace Officers involved, both mentally and physically. This left all three associations attempting to find ways to help the members as well as the families involved. The hour long discussion which took place amongst the three of us as well as the many questions from the others in attendance brought up one very important issue. The issue was support for those involved after the crisis was over and how each association and department dealt with it. Throughout the discussion it became clear that those of us in California are far ahead of our counterparts in the Eastern part of the country. The fact that the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department has a counseling team in place and the S.E.A.T program were huge benefits for those of us in California. The other two Presidents spoke of how all of their members involved were forced back to work the very next day. I was told that they had no peer support groups in place or any confidential counseling that their members could utilize. I know this may not seem like a big deal to some of you, but let us not forget what the two other tragedies involved. The first was a bombing in which the victims had been severely injured or killed and the scene looked like a war zone. The second involved children, which all of us know is the worst case scenario in this line of work. Imagine being told to suck it up and get back to work or being told you do not need to talk to anyone about what you just went through. Imagine having a mental picture of what you witnessed every time you close your eyes and not having someone in the mental health profession to turn to for assistance. I hope none of us ever have to live through any of these types of tragedies again, but I know that may be wishful thinking. Just know if we are faced with such a crisis we at least have the resources in place if we want to utilize them and we have the support of SEBA and our departments. SEBA About The Cover Henry Sanchez, Back In The Ring H enry Sanchez was back in the boxing ring for the recent Battle At The Academy. The Star and Shield last reported on him back in 2009, and once again Sanchez is dishing out the punishment. “Once again I’m the underdog, but with the help of my partners, friends, family and others I win once more,” he said. The main event of the Welterweights division featured Miguel Mejia (LAPD) versus Henry Sanchez (SBSD) in a crowd-pleasing fight. The nonstop battle lasted for three rounds, with the judges deciding for Sanchez. The actionpacked battle received “Fight Of The Night” honors. SEBA SEBA STAR &SHIELD 3 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S CORNER Discipline and Discharge By Michael Eagleson T he central concept permeating discipline and discharge cases is “just cause.” Most memorandums of understandings (MOUs) explicitly prohibit the employer from disciplining or discharging employees without just cause. In San Bernardino County the Personnel Rules have a “for cause” provision. Rule X Section 2 states an employee with regular status in the Classified Service may be demoted, suspended, reduced in salary step, or dismissed only for cause. The concept of just cause has been around for centuries; it draws its origin from the Statute of Laborers enacted in 1562. This statute prohibited employers from discharging employees without a “reasonable cause.” While most American jurisdictions initially followed this rule, it was replaced by the employment at-will doctrine in 1877. Thankfully, just cause resurfaced in the 1930s when unions, concerned about their members’ job security began including just cause provisions in their collective bargaining agreements. A major breakthrough occurred in 1964, when Arbitrator Carroll Daugherty came up with the definition for just cause by asking seven independent questions. Under this standard if the answer is no to any of the seven, just cause did not exist. The following are the seven questions to determine if just cause exists: 1) Did the employer give to the employee forewarning or foreknowledge of the possible or probable disciplinary consequences of the employee’s conduct?; 2) Was the employer’s rule or managerial order reasonably related to the orderly, efficient, and safe operation of the company’s business?; 3) Did the employer, before administering discipline to an employee, make an effort to discover whether the employee violated or disobeyed a rule or order of management?; 4) Was the employer’s investigation conducted fairly and objectively?; 5) At the investigation did the “judge” obtain substantial evidence or proof that the employee was guilty as charged?; 6) Has the employer applied its rules, orders, and penalties evenhandedly and without discrimination to all employees?; 4 SEBA STAR &SHIELD 7) Was the degree of the discipline administered by the employer reasonably related to (a) the seriousness of the employee’s proven offense and (b) the record of the employee’s service? There are two principles that are central to just cause and are employed by all arbitrators: 1) due process, and 2) progressive discipline. Due process is the right of a permanent public employee to be accorded certain “pre-removal safeguards” before punitive (disciplinary) action is taken. It is a constitutional guarantee to afford protection against arbitrary action by the state. In a landmark decision, Skelly v. State Personnel Board, the California Supreme Court held that a “permanent” (nonprobationary) public employee who may only be discharged for “cause” has “a property interest in the continuation of his employment which is protected by due process.” The United States and California Constitutions prohibit the state from taking property “without due process of law.” Therefore, a public employee may not be deprived of this property interest by punitive action, unless before discipline becomes effective, the state – that is, the public employer – has complied with procedural due process. In establishing what has become known as the “Skelly doctrine,” the court declared that “as a minimum these preremoval safeguards must include”: 1) A written “notice of the proposed action;” 2) The “reasons” for such proposed action; 3) “A copy of the charges and the material upon which the action is based;” and 4) “The right to respond, either orally or in writing, to the authority initially imposing discipline.” The court further held that while due process does not require that an employee be provided “with a full trial-type evidentiary hearing prior to the initial taking of punitive action,” a full evidentiary hearing must be held at some time before the discipline becomes final. Progressive discipline is the application of a variety of corrective actions taken to modify the employee’s job performance or behavior. The corrective actions are administered in steps, with each step progressively more severe than the one before. The key to an effective discipline system is that it is intended to be corrective and not punitive. The purpose of discipline is to restore the employee’s behavior to acceptable standards so that they can be productive and a contributing member of the organization.

By Ellen Monsalve, SEBA Executive Assistant R ecently, American Specialty Health Plans of California, Inc. (ASH) sent notices to many SEBA members regarding a premium rebate mandated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA requires ASH to rebate part of the premiums it received in 2012 if it did not spend at least 80% of the premiums ASH received on health care services, such as doctors and hospital bills, and activities to improve health care quality, such as efforts to improve patient safety. No more than 20% of the premiums may be spent on administrative costs such as salaries, sales and advertising. This is referred to as the “Medical Loss Ratio” standard or the 80/20 rule. In 2012, ASH spent only 78% of the total premiums received on health care activities. As such, ASH is required to refund the 2% difference in premiums paid back to the employer, which in this case is SEBA’s Peace Officer’s Relief Fund (PORF). The ASH Plan was administered by the PORF and monthly premiums were paid by the PORF on behalf of the member. Members of the Safety Unit, Safety Management Unit, Specialized Peace Officer Unit, Specialized Peace Officer Supervisory Unit, and the Specialized Fire Services Unit are all covered under the PORF and were enrolled in the ASH Plan in 2012. Many members took advantage of enrolling their spouse in the ASH plan as well for only $1.30 per month. Because the premiums for members in the above bargaining units were paid by the PORF and not the member themselves, the rebate from ASH will be retained by the PORF to reduce the Please see ASH, p. 6 SEBA STAR &SHIELD 5 RETIREMENTS Darrell Day Probation Supervisor Probations Corrections 35 years Congratulations ! ASH Continued from p. 5 monthly premium. For those members not in the above bargaining units who pay the ASH premiums through payroll deduction or individual billing, or who were paying premiums for their spouse, rebates from ASH will be passed along by reducing your upcoming chiropractic premiums (currently through Landmark Healthplan of California) via payroll deduction or a reduction in your individual bill. The reduction will appear in the month after the PORF receives the rebate from ASH. We do not know at this point what the rebate amount will be to the member until we receive the rebate from ASH. But rest assured, if you are entitled to a rebate, you will get it!

That is completely false. The Peace Officers’ Procedural Bill of Rights (POBR) gives you the same rights as everyone else. Whether you are on probation or you are an old timer, you have the right to SEBA representation for discipline and grievances. If you are the subject of an investigation or a party to a potential grievance, you can always call SEBA for representation. If you just aren’t sure, call us and we will advise you on what your options may be. Now remember, if you are on probation your departSherriffAd 6/13:Layout 1 6/11/13 4:47 PM Page 1 ment does not have to investigate or discipline you, they can terminate you at any time. Individuals terminated during their probationary period for not meeting expected standards have no entitlement to a hearing under Section 3304(b) of the POBR or the Due Process Clause. Individuals terminated during their probationary period for misconduct, that you deny, are entitled to a “Liberty Interest” hearing under the Due Process Clause. The purpose of a “Liberty Interest” hearing is to give you an opportunity to establish a formal record of the circumstances surrounding your termination. Each department shall have their own rules and procedures for how this hearing shall be conducted. In case you are unaware of your probationary period, below is the language as written in the separate MOU’s. The probationary period for positions in the Safety Unit is 2080 hours. The probationary period for positions in the Safety Management and Supervisory Unit is 1600 hours.

To help their members overcome education obstacles, SEBA has partnered with La Verne University, who offers Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs with a $100 per unit tuition reduction for most programs. Additionally, La Verne caters to working adults with classes in the evenings, weekends and online. “We tailor our program to fit to your life, it’s what makes our program con- Rights Continued from p. 8 The probationary period will be automatically extended for each hour during which the employee is on leave without pay, including absences while receiving disability payments, or on military leave. In situations where the employee is on continuous paid sick leave or is using annual leave in lieu of paid sick leave for eighty (80) or more consecutive hours, or on modified duty for occupational or non-occupational reasons, the probationary period may be extended at the discretion of the appointing authority. Such extension is in addition to the fifteen (15) pay period extension allowed by the Personnel Rules. The probationary period for positions in the Specialized Peace Officer Unit and Specialized Peace Officer Supervisory Unit is 1600 hours. venient,” Dr. Steve Lesniak, Dean of Regional Campus Administration at La Verne University, said. It’s possible to take a combination approach to your degree, mixing in class instruction with online, he said. Accelerated programs also make it easier. “These classes are designed with the working professional in mind,” Dr. Don Parker, La Verne Associate Director of Admissions at the High Desert Campus, said. The La Verne campuses in Ontario and Victorville would likely be SEBA members best options for convenience. The tuition break applies to all undergraduate and graduate programs except the College of Law and traditional age undergraduate programs, Lesniak said. The probationary period will be extended automatically for each hour during which the employee is on military leave or is on leave without pay. In situations where the employee is on modified duty or is continuously absent for eighty (80) or more consecutive hours because of occupational or non-occupational injury or illness, the probationary period may be extended at the discretion of the appointing authority. Such extension is in addition to the fifteen (15) pay period extension allowed by the Personnel Rules. The probationary period for positions in the Specialized Fire Services Unit is 1600 hours. The probationary period will be automatically extended for each hour during which the employee is on leave without pay or on military leave, past thirty (30) days whether paid or unpaid. In situations where the employee is on continuous paid sick leave for eighty (80) or more consecutive hours, The most popular programs for law enforcement professionals, he said, are the Masters in Business Administration, the Organizational Management Bachelor’s Program, and Public Administration. All of these programs are offered at La Verne’s local, regional campuses and online. “Public service individuals look toward these programs to enhance their current positions or for a career after retirement,” Lesniak said. Terms at La Verne are 10 weeks long, including Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. The next term is Winter, starting January 6, giving SEBA members plenty of time to prepare. To apply, contact the regional campus close to you, attend an Information Session by calling the SEBA office at (909) 885-6074, or follow the link on the SEBA website at seba.biz or go to laverne.edu/admission/seba. SEBA or on modified duty for occupational or non-occupational reasons, the probationary period may be extended at the discretion of the Appointing Authority. Such extension is in addition to the eighteen (18) pay period extension allowed by the Personnel Rules. The last two paragraphs apply to all Units: The probationary period ends at the end of the day in which you have completed the required number of service hours. Completed service hours are defined as regularly scheduled hours in a paid status up to eighty (80) hours per pay period. Overtime hours are not counted towards hours worked when calculating the end of your probationary period. The bottom line is that when you are on probation you need to be very careful. If you do have any problems or issues you DO have the right to representation through SEBA.
