Common use of First Level of Review Clause in Contracts

First Level of Review. If the grievance is not settled at Step 1, the grievant may serve written notice of the grievance on a form provided by the department, office, or bureau upon the Chief of Police via the Employee Relations Administrator to review the grievance at Step 2 within 10 business days of receipt of the grievance response or, in the absence of a response by the immediate supervisor, at the expiration of the time limit for the immediate supervisor to respond at Step 1. Failure of the grievant to serve such written notice shall constitute a waiver of the grievance. If such written notice is served, the management designee shall meet with the grievant, and a written decision or statement of the facts and issues shall be rendered to the grievant and his/her representative, if any, within 10 business days from the date of service. Failure of Management to respond within such time limit shall entitle the grievant to process his/her grievance at Step 3.
