Early Resolution. In the event a grievance is filed at such time that it cannot be processed through all the steps in this grievance procedure by the end of the school year, the time limits set forth herein may be reduced by mutual agreement of the parties in interest so that the procedure may be exhausted prior to the end of the school year, or as soon as is practicable.
Early Resolution. Within ten (10) business days following alleged discrimination proscribed by this article and after consultation with Western's Office of Institutional Equity, the bargaining unit faculty member alleging discrimination may request in writing to Western's Office of Institutional Equity that a meeting be held to informally discuss and attempt to resolve the matter. The meeting shall include a representative of the Office of Institutional Equity and the bargaining unit faculty member alleging discrimination, and may include, at the request of the faculty member, a Chapter representative and/or, at the request of the Office of Institutional Equity, representatives of Western, including the person(s) against whom the charge is made. The meeting shall be held within ten (10) business days of the request, when possible. Any agreements resolving the matter that are reached at the meeting shall be reduced to writing and signed by the parties. A copy of any such Early Resolution Agreement shall be provided to the Chapter upon request. Such an Early Resolution Agreement shall be final and binding and shall serve as a bar to any further pursuit of the claim(s) covered by the Early Resolution Agreement, including internal pursuit through the grievance procedure and external pursuit through agencies or courts. If no Early Resolution Agreement is reached at the meeting, the Office of Institutional Equity shall so notify the parties in writing.
Early Resolution. In the case of a first occurrence, and when intimidation or coercion do not seem to be a primary factor, the complainant and the accused, if they are willing, will meet with the investigator and two (2) Union Stewards or Representatives (one to represent each party) to see if the matter can be resolved informally.
Early Resolution. It is the mutual desire of the parties hereto that complaints shall be adjusted as quickly as possible, and it is understood that an employee has no grievance until he has first given his immediate supervisor the opportunity of adjusting his complaint. The grievor may have the assistance of a Union Xxxxxxx if he so desires. Such complaint shall be discussed between the employee and his or her immediate supervisor within five (5) days after the circumstances giving rise to it have occurred or ought reasonably to have come to the attention of the employee. Failing settlement within the five (5) days, it shall then be taken up as a grievance within five (5) days following his immediate supervisor’s decision in the following manner and sequence:
Early Resolution. As an early resolution of issues is supported by both parties, it is expected that employees will endeavour to meet with the relevant supervisor and attempt to resolve the complaints on an informal basis prior to entering the formal grievance process. A Xxxxxxx may accompany the employee is she so desires.
Early Resolution. Any Dispute shall first be referred to the Executive Officers of the Parties, who shall confer in good faith on the resolution of the issue. Any final decision mutually agreed to by the Executive Officers shall be set forth in writing and shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. If the Executive Officers are not able to agree on the resolution of any such Dispute within [*] (or such other period of time as mutually agreed by the Executive Officers) after such Dispute was first referred to them, then the Parties shall submit such Dispute to be finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with Section 12.6.2(b). To the extent any Dispute relates to an action or decision required to be taken or made under the UPenn Agreement within a certain time period, the Parties shall use their best efforts to resolve such Dispute within such time period required for such action or decision. To the extent any such Dispute has not been resolved with such time period, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Passage shall have final decision making authority with respect to, and nothing herein shall prevent Passage from taking or making, any such action or decision required to be taken or made under the UPenn Agreement within such time period.
Early Resolution. This grievance procedure is intended to ensure that every reasonable effort will be made to resolve problems as near as possible to the point of origin. Definitions of grievances are as follows:
Early Resolution. If we settle a matter before the filing of an answer or the demand for appointment of arbitrators or, if no answer is filed or no demand for appointment of arbitrators is made, the expiration of the time period provided for such action, we will split the proceeds as follows: First, I will be paid for my time in an amount equal to the larger between: (a) $350 per hour, and; (b) 33 1/3% of any recovery up to $1 million plus 30% of any portion of the recovery between $1 million and $2 million plus 20% of any portion of the recovery exceeding $2 million. Next, all of my expenses will be paid. My expenses include, without limitation, consultants and paralegals (for reference, my paralegal charges $150 per hour, and Xx. Xxxxx charges $150 per hour) my telephone charges, postage, courier, travel costs (including everything reasonably associated with travel, like transportation, housing, and meals, parking, and other usual and customary costs), copies, facsimile costs, court reporters and transcription costs, and data storage expenses. If funds remain, they will be sent to you. You should anticipate that in many cases, a settlement will provide you with little or no recovery of damages, but may help you in correcting your credit file. If debt is relieved or forgiven, or some other economic benefit is given to you as part of any agreement, the amount relieved will be calculated as part of the total received when we calculate our share.
Early Resolution. All Disputes that may arise with respect to any matter governed by this Agreement shall to the fullest extent possible be resolved collectively by the Parties’ Representatives, or any person designated by any of them to deal with any category of Dispute.
Early Resolution. 8.04 It is the mutual desire of the parties hereto that complaints shall be addressed as quickly as possible, and it is understood that an employee has no grievance until he has first given his immediate supervisor the opportunity of adjusting his complaint. The grievor may have the assistance of a union xxxxxxx if he so desires. Such complaint shall be discussed with his immediate supervisor within five (5) days after the circumstances giving rise to it have occurred or ought reasonably to have come to the attention of the employee.
