# 2021-284 Careers, Remedial measures

Case summary

F&R Date: 2022-09-08

The grievor argued that the recorded warning (RW) she received was unjustified and not administered in accordance with Defence Administrative Order and Directives (DAOD) 5019-4, Remedial Measures. As redress, she sought the removal of the RW from her personal records.

The Initial Authority (IA), the grievor's Commanding Officer, found that the RW was not properly administered and directed portions of the RW be stricken. However, the IA found the RW was justified because the grievor failed to follow the direction of the Chain of Command (CoC).

The Committee found that the RW was not justified, in accordance with DAOD 5019-4, because it lacked reliable evidence to support the described conduct deficiency. Although the grievor had not followed the CoC direction on an administrative matter, the Committee found that the grievor was in compliance with the Canadian Armed Forces policy on the matter.

The Committee recommended that the Final Authority grant redress by quashing the RW and destroying all copies of it, in accordance with policy.
