A
grievance procedure for all non-union classified and unclassified employees
was established at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center
so that employees who were dissatisfied or had a personal complaint
could discuss their situation freely with appropriate personnel.
All
employees may request to receive proper consideration toward resolving
any problem. They should do so without fear of reprisal from anyone
for using this procedure provided the effort to resolve the problem
is sincere.
At each step in this procedure, the employee filing the grievance and
the person against whom the grievance has been filed must be notified
in advance and in writing of the step hearing. If either party chooses
not to participate in the hearing procedure, the person designated to
conduct the step hearing will proceed and render a decision based upon
available evidence. A grieving employee who chooses not to participate
in the hearing process forfeits appeal to the next step.
Decisions
rendered by the Office of the Chancellor are final within the university.
For
further information on the Grievance procedure, or for an opportunity
to informally discuss a potential complaint, contact the Department
of Human Resource Management, Assistant Director of Employee Relations,
Room 122-Administration Building, or call 675-5616.
