Division Commander. A member having an individual grievance will first attempt to resolve it informally with his immediate non-bargaining unit supervisor (the person who is lowest in line of authority above a grievant and who is not in any bargaining unit, e.g., the lieutenant or captain in his or her chain of command). A member-grievant shall attempt informal resolution with his immediate non- bargaining unit supervisor. The grievance must be filed within fourteen (14) calendar days following the events or circumstances giving rise to the grievance having occurred or becoming known to the grievant; however, in no event shall the grievance be filed more than twenty-one (21) days after the occurrence of the events or circumstances giving rise to the grievance. The employee shall have the burden to prove his lack of constructive or actual knowledge of the occurrence of the events or circumstances giving rise to the grievance. Grievances brought to the attention of the supervisor beyond the time limits set out in this section shall not be considered. A supervisor shall provide the member a written response, within seven (7) calendar days of the submission of the grievance.
