Grievance Decisions. CHAMPION LOCAL SCHOOLS

Grievance Decisions. Decisions made at each step of Section 11.6 of this Agreement shall be final and binding on the employee, the Union, and the Employer unless the decision is grieved to a higher step or arbitration, or is found to be in violation of law or higher level regulation. At each step, the Employer’s official may make his/her decision independent of previous steps and may increase or decrease the amount of personal relief awarded at previous steps.

Grievance Decisions. All grievance decisions will: a. Be in writing, state the issue being grieved, corrective action sought, and decision made. 1. Issues of arbitrability will be raised in the decision if reasonably known at the time. b. When the grievant is represented by the Union, the decision shall be presented to the designated Union representative. The decision may be presented in person or by email. When the grievant has elected self-representation, the deciding official or Labor Management Relations Specialist will present the decision to the grievant, and will provide a copy to the Union. If delivered in person, the Union representative, or grievant, to whom the decision is presented, shall sign for receipt and indicate the date received. If served by email, the delivery receipt or system delivery confirmation will constitute both the delivery and receipt date. c. A supervisor or Union official to whom a grievance is presented for a decision under this procedure is responsible for issuing a decision within 10 (ten) working days from presentation of the grievance or a mutually agreed upon time limit. If a grievance decision is not issued within the established or extended timeframes the grievance and the relief shall be considered denied. The Union or Agency may then advance the grievance to arbitration within the allotted timeframe. The timeframe will start with the next workday after the date the decision was due.

Grievance Decisions. Level I, II Decisions:

Grievance Decisions. The grievance steps are not judicial in nature and attendees 161 of the grievance meeting may not interfere with the process or unduly delay it. Grievance 162 decisions are individualized determinations based on applicable facts and circumstances and do 163 not constitute a past practice. 164 With the exception of the arbitrator, each decision-maker shall determine whether a violation of 165 the terms or conditions of this Agreement occurred by using a more-likely-than-not standard. 166 With the exception of the arbitrator, subsequent decision-makers must rely on the findings from 167 the prior step decisions and are primarily reviewing whether those findings are supported by a 168 preponderance of the evidence, whether there were procedural irregularities that affected the 169 outcome of the matter, and whether there is new information that was not previously available 170 that would affect the determination. At the decision-maker’s discretion, information that was 171 previously available but not submitted in the initial grievance may or may not be considered in 172 subsequent steps in the grievance process. 173 If, at any step of the grievance procedure, the university fails to issue a response within the 174 specified time limits, the grievance may be advanced to the next step of the grievance 175 procedure. If the grievant or Union fails to meet the specified time limits, at any step of the 176 grievance and procedure, the grievance will be considered withdrawn and it cannot be 177 resubmitted. If the university fails to issue a response within the specified time limits for a Step 3 178 grievance, the Grievance Administrator will reassign the grievance to a new Step 3 decision 179 maker.
