  • GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE A. A grievance is a complaint by an employee in the bargaining unit submitted as a grievance concerning an alleged violation, misapplication, or misinterpretation of this Agreement. B. The employee shall, within ten (10) workdays of the alleged occurrence, discuss his/her problem informally with his/her immediate supervisor. An Association representative may be present at this conference. The specific supervisor for each department covered in this Agreement will be identified by the Board and made known to the Association and its members for the purpose of expediting the grievance process. An employee not satisfied with a personal conference with his/her supervisor may take his/her problem to the Southfield Michigan Educational Support Personnel Association for consultation. The Association representative may visit the supervisor in the further effort to resolve the grievance; such visits shall occur within ten (10) workdays after the event giving rise to the problem. C. All grievances must be handled by the following procedure: Step 1 If the problem is not resolved in the informal conference it shall be reduced to writing, clearly stating by Article(s) and Section(s) the claimed basis for the grievance and shall be signed by the employee and presented to the supervisor by the Association within fifteen (15) work days after the incident giving rise to the problem. The written grievance may be presented to and discussed with the supervisor by no more than two (2) Association representatives accompanied by the employee at the discretion of the Association. Within five (5) workdays after receiving the written grievance, the supervisor shall communicate his/her decision in writing, together with the supporting reasons, to the Association. Step 2 Within ten (10) workdays after delivery of the supervisor's decision, the grievance may be appealed to the Superintendent or his/her designee. The appeal shall be in writing and shall set forth specifically the act or condition and the grounds on which the grievance is based and shall be accompanied by a copy of the decision of Step 1. Within five (5) work days after delivery of the appeal, the Superintendent or his/her designee or appropriate administrator shall investigate the grievance and conduct a hearing. In the event the superintendent’s designee or the administrator serving as hearing officer is also the person that is being grieved, the superintendent shall designate another designee to serve as a hearing officer for this grievance. Witnesses and cross-examinations may occur on the part of either party at such hearing. The decision, in writing, together with the supporting reasons shall be made to the Association and to the supervisor within five (5) work days following the hearing on the matter. Step 3 If the grievance remains unresolved at the conclusion of Step 2, it may be submitted to binding arbitration at the request of the Association, provided written notice of the request for submission to arbitration is delivered to the Superintendent or his designee within twenty (20) work days after the date of the Superintendent or his designee's written communication of his decision under Step 2. The arbitrator shall be selected according to the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Arbitrator shall render his/her opinion only with respect to the particular grievance submitted to him/her, and such opinion shall be binding upon the Board and the Association. D. The arbitrator shall have no authority except to pass upon alleged violations of the express provisions of this Agreement and to determine disputes involving the application or interpretation of the express provisions of this Agreement. E. The arbitrator shall have no power or authority to add to, subtract from, or modify any of the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall not render any decision, which would require or permit an action in violation of the Michigan School Laws. The termination of probationary employees shall not be subject to arbitration. F. The arbitrator's fees and expenses shall be shared equally by the Board and the Association. The expense and compensation of any witness or participant in the arbitration shall be paid by the party calling such witness or requesting such participant. G. Failure at any step of the grievance procedure to communicate the decision on a grievance within the specific time limit shall permit lodging an appeal at the next step of the procedure within the time which would have been allotted had the decision been given. Failure to file a grievance within the time specified shall bar the grievance. Failure to appeal a decision within the specified time limits shall be deemed an acceptance of the decision and shall bar future appeal. Time limits may be extended in any specific instance by mutual agreement in writing. H. If a grievance arises from an alleged action of authority higher than the supervisor, the grievance may be originally presented at the appropriate step of the grievance procedure. I. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent an individual employee from presenting a grievance, and having the grievance adjusted without intervention of the Association, if the adjustment is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, provided that the Association has been informed of such grievance, provided an opportunity to participate in hearings beyond step 1, and given opportunity to be present during all meetings held with the grievant to discuss such grievance and to copies of all correspondence and documents related to the grievance. J. In the case of an individual employee electing to represent himself/herself in a grievance, without the direct involvement or support of the Association, he/she may pursue such grievance to, but not including, step 3 of the procedure. K. It is understood that if any employee files a charge with a governmental agency such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Michigan Civil Rights Commission, the Michigan Employment Relations Commission, the Michigan Employment Security Commission, the Michigan Department of labor Bureau of Workers' Disability, and/or a similar state or federal agency, said charge shall not be subject to arbitration under this Agreement. The Board shall provide notice to the Association of an employee filing action in another forum as specified above within ten (10) work days of the Board's receipt of notice of such filing.
