Thereafter, the Chief of Police or his designee will assign probationary officers to patrol shifts without regard to seniority except that an assignment of a probationary officer cannot adversely affect another police officer's bid assignment. The Parties further agree that probationary employees will be allowed to bid their shift assignment at the next scheduled annual bid after the successful completion of probation. b. On or about October 15th of each year the Police Chief or his designee may assign up to three (3) non -probationary officers to shifts in the coming year without regard to their seniority.

Section 12.2. Jurisdiction of Fire and Police Commission: Disciplinary action or termination is subject to the jurisdiction of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners according to the applicable State law. A copy of any written disciplinary action shall be provided in writing to the employee. It is understood that in the event the Commission, for any reason, ceases to have jurisdiction over disciplinary action or termination, the parties agree that Article XI, Grievance Procedure, shall be applicable for resolving issues or disputes relating to just cause discipline. Nothing in the article, however, shall be construed in such a manner as to make the reprimand, suspension or discharge of a probationary officer the subject of a hearing before the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, or part of the Grievance Procedure. Disciplinary action given by or approved by the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners may be subject to the Grievance Procedure of the Agreement at Step 4 based on conditions set forth below. Upon receipt of a notice of disciplinary action, the employee (with approval of the Union) may elect to appeal a disciplinary action involving a suspension or dismissal by filing a written grievance at Step 4 of the Grievance Procedure not later than 10 days from the date of the disciplinary action given by or approved by the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners.

Any such appeal shall be signed by the Union President or his designee and shall also contain a signed statement from the affected employee waiving any and all rights he may have to any further appeal of the discipline of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners pursuant to the Administrative Review Act or other legal recourse. If the arbitrator determines after hearing that the disciplinary action is not supported by just cause, the arbitrator shall have the authority to rescind or to modify the action and order that the employee be made whole for any losses incurred as a result of wrongful disciplinary action. In the event that the arbitrator modified the disciplinary action by awarding a suspension or a shorter suspension, he shall have the authority to award a payment of partial back pay that is consistent with the length of any such reduced disciplinary action. Any disciplinary grievance filed without the required signed waiver shall not be subject to arbitration and the arbitrator shall be without jurisdiction to consider or rule upon it. 23 Section 123.
