Notes:
All
alternatives within each step should be completely utilized before
assessing the need to move to the next step.
All
of the steps are not mandatory, they are grievance options.
Although
a procedure is set, the time of response cannot not always be as stated
in the grievance procedures.
There
are factors that can prohibit following the exact number of days,
such as:
- Proper
investigations take time.
- Employees
may need to be interviewed
- Holidays,
vacations and other time factors
Every
possible effort will be made by everyone involved to follow the time.
An employee
that has a need to informally discuss a complaint may contact the
Assistant Director of Employee Relations in the Department of Human
Resource Management.
