[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1106777, member: 14668"] Hearing this makes me glad to work under the superior protection of the Western Region supplement. We have no arbitrary "$4400 and you're fired" rule out here, our language regarding cardinal infractions instead reads "[I]recklessness[/I] resulting in a [I]serious[/I] accident while on duty." This places the burden of proof on the company to show that (a) the emplyee was [I]reckless[/I] and (b) the accident was [I]serious[/I]. In this case, the other party being cited by the police takes the "reckless" factor out of the equation, and both parties being able to drive away from the scene with no injuries and nothing but body damage to the vehicles does not qualify as "serious". And by the way, being able to regurgitate the DOK has no bearing on whether or not the employee will be reinstated if the case goes to panel. [/QUOTE]
