During the meeting, the member will advise the Immediate Supervisor that the discussion is intended to be a Level I grievance meeting. B. Level II (Business Manager) 1. If the grievant is not satisfied with the results of Level I, or is unable for cause beyond his/her control to discuss the matter with his/her Principal or Immediate Supervisor within thirty (30) days as prescribed in Section 4.04 (B), above, he/she may begin the procedure by submitting the written grievance on the form attached hereto, (Appendix A-1), to the Business Manager with a copy to the Association President. 2.

The decision reached at this time will be recorded in Level II of the Grievance Report Form (Appendix A-2) and a copy will be sent to the grievant and the Association President. C. Level III (Superintendent) 1. If the grievant is not satisfied with the results of Level II, he/she may, within seven (7) days of receipt of the Level II decision, continue the procedure by submitting the written grievance to the Superintendent/designee with a copy to the Association President. 2. Within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the form, the Superintendent/designee shall render a written decision. The decision reached at this meeting will be recorded in Level III of the Grievance Report Form (Appendix A-2) and a copy will be sent to the grievant and the Association President. D. Level IV (Arbitration) 1. If the grievant is not satisfied with the Level III decision, the Association ONLY, acting on the grievant’s request, may demand a hearing by an arbitrator by filing a written demand for arbitration with the Treasurer not later than fourteen (14) days after receipt of the Level III decision. 2. Within seven (7) days of the filing of the arbitration demand, the Board and the Association shall either select an arbitrator by mutual agreement or the Association will petition the American Arbitration Association (AAA) to provide a list of names from which an arbitrator shall be selected. The fees of the AAA, the cost of the arbitrator, and cancellation fees, shall be shared equally by the Board and the Association. 3. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding on both parties.

The Voluntary Labor Arbitration Rules of the AAA shall govern the arbitration process.
Action Steps State scope of practice laws can allow for broad, unre- stricted CPAs between pharmacists and other providers. To build and strengthen collaborative practices, phar- macists can use the following strategies, which were proposed by the APhA Foundation’s expert group: Use simple, understandable terms to describe the patient care services that pharmacists can provide. Educate other health care professionals about the value of including pharmacists on health care teams. Encourage other health professional organizations to work together when proposing changes to scope of practice laws. Set up or participate in interprofessional committees to discuss how scope of practice laws can expand the role of pharmacists and other health professionals in team-based care. Talk with local health care providers about entering into CPAs. Talk with payers about using viable business models to support pharmacists’ patient care services. Share appropriate health information with providers through the use of EHRs. Show relevant stakeholders the value of aligning incentives and reimbursement for all health care team members involved in patient care to improve health and decrease costs. Expanding and promoting pharmacists’ patient care services at the local level can help key stakeholders understand the value of CPAs. Patients, doctors, and other health care pro- viders can share their positive experiences with pharmacists to affirm and promote the value that pharmacists bring to the health care system. They can also champion policies that support collaborative practices.
Appeal Procedure The Appeal will be deemed an appeal of the entire Arbitration Award. In conducting the Appeal, the Appeal Panel shall conduct a de novo review of all Claims described or otherwise set forth in the Arbitration Notice.

Within five days after the conference, the LRS Business License Official shall issue a notice of final assessment and serve the taxpayer by mail or personal service with the notice and provide a form for any further appeal of the assessment by the taxpayer. (2) Within thirty days after the date of postmark or personal service, the taxpayer may appeal the notice of final assessment by filing a completed appeal form with the LRS Business License Official, by mail or personal service, and by paying to LRS in protest at least eighty percent of the business license tax based on the final assessment. The appeal must be heard and determined by the Appeals Board. The Appeals Board shall provide the taxpayer with written notice of the hearing and with any rules of evidence or procedure prescribed by the Appeals Board. The hearing must be held within thirty days after receipt of the appeal form unless continued to another date by agreement of the parties. A hearing by the Appeals Board must be held at a regular or specially called meeting of the Appeals Board. At the appeals hearing, the taxpayer and LRS have the right to be represented by counsel, to present testimony and evidence, and to cross-examine witnesses. The hearing must be recorded and must be transcribed at the expense of the party so requesting. The Appeals Board shall decide the assessment by majority vote. The Appeals Board shall issue a written decision explaining the basis for the decision with findings of fact and conclusions and shall inform the taxpayer of the right to request a contested case hearing before the Administrative Law Court. The written decision must be filed with the LRS Business License Official and served on the taxpayer by mail or personal service. The decision is the final decision of LRS on the assessment.
