If the grievant does provide the document, statement or item to the official within such four-day period, the time allowed for the official to issue his/her decision on the grievance or appeal shall be extended by four (4) working days. Except as provided in this paragraph, no appeal shall be denied or disallowed because one or more of the statements, documents or items listed above are missing from the filed written appeal. The grievant may request documents under the provisions of Nebraska Public Records laws, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 84-712 et. seq.
