Grievance Steps. Step One (1) - Filing the Grievance with the Agency Director or Designee If an employee or the Union believes that he/she has been assigned duties not within his/her current classification, the employee or the Union may file a grievance with the Agency Director or designee. The Agency Director or designee shall investigate and issue a decision after review and approval by the Office of Collective Bargaining, within thirty-five (35) calendar days. A copy of the Director’s or designee’s decision and a legible copy of the grievance form shall be provided to the grievant and OCSEA Central Office. If the parties mutually agree, a meeting to attempt to resolve the grievance may be held at the grievant’s work site prior to the issuance of the decision of the Director or designee. A request by the Office of Collective Bargaining to discuss the resolution of the grievance shall not extend the twenty (20) day period within which the Union has a right to appeal the matter to arbitration under Step Two (2). If the Director or designee determines that the employee is performing duties which meet the classification concept and which constitute a substantial portion of the duties (i.e., twenty percent (20%) or more of the employee’s time if to a higher classification or eighty percent (80%) of the employee’s time if to a lower classification) specified in another classification specification, the Director shall order the immediate discontinuance of the inappropriate duties being performed by the employee, unless the parties agree to the reclassification of the person and position pursuant to the provisions of this Article. If the duties are determined to be those contained in a classification with a lower pay range than the employee’s current classification, no monetary award will be issued. If the duties are determined to be those contained in a classification with a higher pay range than that of the employee’s current classification, the Director or designee shall issue an award of monetary relief, provided that the employee has performed the duties as previously specified for a period of four (4) or more working days. The amount of the monetary award shall be the difference between the employee’s regular hourly rate of pay, and the hourly rate of pay at the applicable step of the higher pay range for the new classification. The applicable step shall be the step in the higher pay range which is approximately four percent (4%) higher than the current step rate of the em...
Grievance Steps. 1. Step 1
Grievance Steps. Step 1 The grievor, with the assistance of their Shop Xxxxxxx, where applicable, will submit the grievance in writing to the Business Manager of the Union who will take the matter up with the appropriate Company official within ten (10) working days of the Company’s reply in Step 1.
Grievance Steps. Each grievance will be processed in the following manner:
Grievance Steps. 32 A. INFORMAL STEP 33 Before filing a formal written grievance, the grievant shall attempt to resolve the grievance through 34 an informal conference with the grievant’s immediate supervisor. Such conference, as well as 1 actual formal filing of a written grievance in the event the conference does not resolve the problem, 2 must take place within the applicable time limits as outlined in Step I below. 4 B. STEP I 5 No later than thirty (30) days following the act or omission giving rise to the grievance, or, no later 6 than thirty (30) days following the date upon which the employee reasonably should have known of 7 the act or omission, the grievant must present such grievance in writing on an appropriate form to 8 the immediate supervisor. 10 The written grievance shall contain a clear, concise statement of the grievance, the specific 11 provision(s) of the Agreement allegedly involved, and the specific remedy sought. 13 The immediate supervisor shall communicate a written decision to the employee within ten (10) 14 days after receiving the grievance. Within the above time limits, either party may request a personal 15 conference with the other party. 18 In the event the grievant is not satisfied with the decision at Step I, the grievant may appeal the 19 decision on the appropriate form to the Superintendent or his designee within ten (10) days. Failure 20 to meet this time limit by the grievant shall constitute an automatic waiver and withdrawal of the 21 grievance. 23 The Superintendent or his designee shall communicate a decision within ten (10) days after 24 receiving the appeal. Either the grievant or the Superintendent or designee may request a personal 25 conference within the above time limits. If the Superintendent or designee does not respond within 26 the above time limits, the grievant may, at the election of the Association, automatically proceed to 27 the next step. 29 D. STEP III 30 If the grievant is not satisfied with the disposition of the grievance at Step II, or if no written decision 31 has been rendered within the applicable time limits, the grievant may, within ten (10) days after 32 written decision is rendered or should have been rendered, request in writing that the Association 33 submit the grievance to binding arbitration. A copy of such request shall be simultaneously served 34 upon the Superintendent. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such request from the grievant, 1 the Association by written notice to the Superin...
Grievance Steps. A grievance shall be processed in the following manner:
Grievance Steps. Layoff, Non-Selection, Discipline and Other Advance-Step Grievances Certain issues which by their nature cannot be settled at a preliminary step of the grievance procedure or which would become moot due to the length of time necessary to exhaust the grievance steps may by mutual agreement be filed at the appropriate advance step where the action giving rise to the grievance was initiated. A grievance involving a layoff, non-selection or a discipline shall be initiated at Step Three (3) of the grievance procedure within fourteen (14) days of notification of such action. Discharge Grievances The Agency shall forward a copy of the grievance with the grievance number to the Office of Collective Bargaining at the time the grievance is filed at Step Three (3). The Agency shall conduct a meeting and respond within sixty (60) days of the date the grievance was filed at Step Three (3). If the grievance is not resolved at Step Three (3), the parties shall conduct a mediation within sixty (60) days of the due date of the Step Three (3) response. Nothing in this Section precludes either party from waiving mediation and proceeding directly to arbitration. The Union may request arbitration of the grievance within sixty (60) days of the date of the mediation, but no more than one hundred eighty (180) days from the filing of the grievance. The parties shall conduct an arbitration within sixty (60) days of the date of the arbitration request. The parties agree that there shall be no more than one thirty (30) day continuance requested for arbitration. If a cancellation is initiated by an arbitrator, the arbitration shall be conducted within thirty (30) days of the date of the cancellation. However, grievances involving criminal charges of on duty actions of the employee, grievants who are unable to attend due to a disability, or grievances that involve an unfair labor practice charge, may exceed the time limits prescribed herein. Step One (1) - Immediate Supervisor The grievant and/or the Union shall orally raise the grievance with the grievant's supervisor who is outside of the bargaining unit. The supervisor shall be informed that this discussion constitutes the first step of the grievance procedure. All grievances must be presented not later than ten (10) working days from the date the grievant became or reasonably should have become aware of the occurrence giving rise to the grievance not to exceed a total of thirty (30) days after the event. If being on approved paid l...
