Time Limits Since it is important that grievances be processed as rapidly as possible, the number of days indicated at each level should be considered as a maximum and every effort should be made to expedite the process. The time limits specified may, however, be extended by mutual agreement.
Grievance Time Limits A grievance must be filed in writing within thirty (30) calendar days of the event giving rise to the concern or the date the event became known or should have become known to the employee. Time limits set forth in the following may only be extended by mutual written agreement between the Employer and the Union. Grievances regarding employee compensation shall be deemed to have occurred at the time payment is made, or at the time when the payment was due but not made if that is the contention. Grievances over an employee’s eligibility for a benefit shall be deemed to have occurred at the time when such employee benefit eligibility decision was made by Employer. Failure of the Employer to comply with the time limits set forth in the grievance procedure shall allow the employee or Union to advance the grievance to the next step of the grievance procedure within the time frames specified herein. Time limits are important. Failure of an employee or the Union to file a grievance or a written grievance as defined in this Section in a timely basis, or to timely advance such a grievance, in accordance with the time limits set forth in the grievance procedure, will constitute a formal withdrawal of the grievance by the employee and the Union.

Amending Time Limits The time limits fixed in the arbitration procedure may be altered by mutual consent of the parties but the same must be in writing.
Waiver of Time Limits The time limits prescribed above may be extended by mutual agreement in writing between the Union and the Employer.
Failure to Meet Time Limits If a grievance is not processed by the grievant in accordance with the time limits set forth in this Article, it shall be considered settled on the basis of the decision last made by the District. If the District fails to respond to the grievance in a timely manner at any level, the running of the time limit shall be deemed a denial of the grievance and termination of the level involved, and the grievant may proceed to the next step.
Waivers and Time Limits 1. Failure by Management to reply to the employee's grievance within the time limits specified automatically grants to the employee the right to process the grievance to the next level.
Extension of Time Limits The time limits referred to in this Article may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties in writing.
Time Limitation The time limits established in the grievance procedures shall be followed by the parties and the aggrieved employee. If the time limit procedure is not followed by the Union or the aggrieved employee, the grievance shall be considered settled without precedent. If the time procedure is not followed by the Employer, the grievance shall automatically advance to the next step, but arbitration shall only be instituted upon timely written notice by the Union. The time limits established in the grievance and arbitration procedure may be extended by mutual agreement reduced to writing and signed by the parties.
Amending of Time Limits The time limits fixed in both the grievance and arbitration procedure may be extended by consent of the parties.
