GREIVANCE PROCEDURE. Section 1. Definition From time to time there may be differences and misunderstandings about the interpretation and application of the terms of this Agreement. Both parties agree that these differences and/or misunderstandings should be resolved promptly and, whenever possible, through informal means of communication between employees and the Public Authority. The Union will encourage bargaining unit members to discuss and resolve their concerns directly with appropriate Public Authority staff as the first step in addressing any work-related problem in order to prevent the need for a formal grievance. However, it is also acknowledged that occasions may arise in which informal means are inadequate to resolve work- related disputes concerning the interpretation or application of this agreement. A grievance is hereby defined as a claim by an employee, a group of employees or the Union covered by this agreement involving an alleged violation of a provision of this Agreement by the Public Authority. Participation in the grievance procedure in any capacity shall be solely on the Provider’s own time, and shall not be treated as within any IHSS Recipient’s allocated service hours, or as paid time. The grievance procedure shall not apply to matters over which the Public Authority has no jurisdiction, consumer rights or regarding the County of Orange.
GREIVANCE PROCEDURE. A. A grievance is defined as an alleged dispute or violation of a specific Article or Section of this Agreement. There shall be an xxxxxxx effort on the part of the grievant, the Union, and the Board/Employer to settle the grievance through the following steps. Any employee(s) who believe he/she has been unjustly dealt with may grieve up to and including Step 4 of the grievance procedure.
B. The time limits specified herein for movement of grievances through the process shall be strictly adhered to and may be relaxed or extended only by mutual consent of the parties in writing. In the event that the seniority employee or the Union, in behalf of the seniority employee, fails to appeal a grievance or grievance answer within the stated time limits, the involved grievance shall be deemed abandoned and settled on the basis of the Board/Employer’s last answer. In the event the Board of Education representative does not reply within the time limit specified, the grievance may proceed to the next step unless the grievant or the Union, on behalf of the seniority employee, indicates otherwise.
C. Each grievance must be initiated within fifteen (15) working days of the occurrence of the grievance or, if the seniority employee did not have knowledge of the grievance at the time of its happening, then within fifteen (15) working days after the aggrieved becomes aware of the cause of the grievance.
D. Any written agreement reached between the Employer and the Union is binding on all employees affected and cannot be changed by any individual.
E. Where more than one (1) written grievance involving the same issue has been filed and processed through the grievance procedure to STEP THREE, the parties may, by mutual written agreement at STEP THREE, select one of the grievances as representative of the group. The remaining grievance shall then be held in abeyance at STEP THREE while the selected representative grievance is processed further in the grievance procedure. The ultimate disposition of the selected grievance shall then be applicable to the remaining grievances held at STEP THREE.
F. In the event it becomes necessary for the Xxxxxxx to be involved in handling a grievance, the appropriate Union Xxxxxxx will be allowed reasonable time during working hours, without loss of pay, for the proper handling of grievances. The appropriate supervisor or principal may grant permission to the appropriate Xxxxxxx, with the exception of drivers during their regular scheduled drivin...
GREIVANCE PROCEDURE. A. Definition
GREIVANCE PROCEDURE. 9.01 It is the mutual desire of the Parties hereto that complaints of employees shall be adjusted as quickly as possible and it is understood that an Employee or the Union on their behalf, has no grievance until the employee’s immediate supervisor has been given an opportunity to adjust the complaint. If an employee has a complaint s/he shall discuss it with her/his immediate supervisor within fifteen (15) days after the employee would reasonably be expected to have become aware of the circumstances giving rise to the complaint. The immediate supervisor shall be allowed seven (7) days to communicate her/his answer to the complainant. Failing settlement, it may then be taken up as a grievance. In the case of a job competition grievance, it is understood that the appropriate supervisor will be the recruiting supervisor. A grievance is defined as a complaint with respect to the application, interpretation, administration or alleged violation of this Agreement. At any stage of the grievance procedure (including the verbal complaint stage) the grievor may be accompanied by a Union representative, who maybe an employee of the University.
Step 1 Within seven (7) days of the supervisor’s decision the employee or the Union may present the alleged grievance in writing, on a form agreed to by the University and the Union, to her/his supervisor. Each written grievance shall be signed by the grievor or the Union and shall include:
(a) the date of presentation;
(b) the nature of the grievance;
(c) the remedy sought;
(d) the paragraph or paragraphs of this Agreement allegedly violated or the alleged occurrence said to have caused the grievance. The employee may be assisted in the presentation of the grievance by a Union representative who may be an employee of the University. Failing an immediate settlement, the supervisor shall deliver the decision in writing to the employee and to the Union within seven (7) days following the presentation of the grievance to her/him.
Step 2 If not settled at Step 1, the grievor or the Union may submit the grievance to her/his supervisor’s supervisor within seven (7) days of the reply at Step 1. The supervisor’s supervisor may meet with the grievor within seven (7) days to discuss the grievance and shall deliver her/his decision in writing to the employee and to the Union within seven (7) days of the meeting. If no meeting takes place the decision shall be delivered in writing to the employee and the Union within seven (7) days. If not ...
GREIVANCE PROCEDURE a. If the parties fail to settle the grievance at Step 2 of the grievance procedure, the grievance may be referred to arbitration as follows.
b. The parties may mutually agree to refer the grievance procedure to mediation. If so agreed, the cost of mediation shall be shared jointly between the parties.
a. The party requiring arbitration must serve the other party with written notice of the desire to arbitrate, within fourteen (14) days after receiving the decision given at Step 2 of the grievance procedure.
b. The parties shall meet with a settlement officer as outlined in Section 45 (4.1) of the Labour Relations Act, to endeavour to effect a settlement before the arbitrator or board of arbitration begins to hear the arbitration.
26.03 If a party wishes to arbitrate a dispute, it shall indicate whether it wishes to have this done by a board of arbitration or by a sole arbitrator. If the party serving the notice opts for a board of arbitration, the two parties shall each nominate a nominee within seven (7) days, and each shall notify the other party of the name and address of its nominee. The two nominees so appointed shall jointly select a chairman. If they are unable to agree on the selection of a chairman within seven (7) days of their appointment, either party to the dispute may request the Minister of Labour to appoint a chairman. If the party serving the notice opts for a sole arbitrator, the two parties shall jointly select a sole arbitrator. In case they are unable to reach agreement on this matter, either party may request the Minister of Labour to appoint the arbitrator. All references in this Article to a board of arbitration shall equally apply to a sole arbitrator.
26.04 No person who has been involved in an attempt to negotiate or settle the grievance may be appointed as chairman of an arbitration board as a sole arbitrator.
26.05 The decision of a majority is the decision of the arbitration board, but if there is no majority, the decision of the chairman of the arbitration board governs.
26.06 Notices of desire to arbitrate a dispute, and of nomination of a nominee, shall be served personally or by registered mail. If served by registered mail, the date of mailing shall be deemed to be the date of service.
26.07 If a party fails to answer a grievance at any stage of the grievance procedure, the other party may commence arbitration proceedings, and if the party in default refuses or neglects to appoint an arbitrator in accordance with this Art...
