Compensation Grievances. All complaints involving or concerning the payment of compensation shall be initially filed in writing with the Fire Chief or his or her designated representative for payroll issues within 30 working days from the date when the employee may reasonably be expected to have learned of the alleged compensation violation. If such issues cannot be resolved by the Fire Chief (or in consultation with the Auditor), the Fire Chief will refer the matter to the Director of Human Resources within ten (10) working days of receipt of the grievance. The Director of Human Resources or his or her designee shall have 30 working days to research the issue and provide a written response to the Association and the affected employee. In such cases no adjustment shall be retroactive for more than thirty (30) days from the date upon which the complaint was filed or thirty (30) days from the date when an employee may reasonably be expected to have learned of said claimed violation whichever is later. Only complaints which allege that employees are not being compensated in accordance with the rules, regulations, and resolutions of the City Council or in accordance with the understanding contained in any Memorandum of Understanding which has resulted from meet-and-confer process shall be considered as grievances. Any other matters of compensation shall be deemed withdrawn until the meet-and-confer process is next opened for discussion.
