Common use of Final Resolution of Grievance Clause in Contracts

Final Resolution of Grievance. If the grievance is still in dispute after Step 4, the employee or MEA may request a further hearing by submitting the grievance to the Human Resources Director within five working days of receipt of Management’s written decision. The Human Resources Director will determine whether the hearing will take place before the Civil Service Commission, on matters over which the Commission has authority, or before the Mayor or designee. If it is determined that the hearing should be held before the Civil Service Commission, a fact finding hearing to define the issues in the grievance will be held by the Personnel Director with the employee and/or MEA prior to the date set for the Commission hearing. The grievance may be settled during the fact finding hearing, if a mutually acceptable solution is developed. If no mutually acceptable solution is reached, the Civil Service Commission will hear the grievance and the decision of the Commission shall be issued at its next regularly scheduled meeting following the hearing. In grievances answered by the Mayor or designee, a hearing shall be held and a written response given within ten working days from the date of receipt of the appeal from Step 4. The employee or MEA may only request a hearing before the Civil Service Commission, on matters solely involving Civil Service Rules or the Personnel Manual. In non-Mayoral departments, this step shall constitute the final resolution of a grievance involving a violation of this MOU.
