Grievance Limitations. This procedure shall not be used for the purposes of adding to, subtracting from, or altering in any way, any of the provisions of this Agreement.
Grievance Limitations. All grievances must be initiated within fourteen (14) business days after the alleged violation has occurred or from when there would be reasonable basis for knowledge of the alleged violation. Any grievance upon which a disposition is not made by the Hospital within the time limits prescribed (or any extension mutually agreed upon) may be referred to the next step in the Grievance Procedure. If the grievance is not referred to the next step within five (5) business days from receipt of an answer, it shall be deemed closed based upon the last answer. It is expected that the Hospital and Union will make a sincere effort to settle the dispute as quickly as possible at the lowest level. However, in the case of an alleged grievance which affects the Bargaining Unit as a whole, or in a case when the alleged grievance results from an action above the level of the Supervisor and/or designee, the grievance may be filed at the appropriate level of the Grievance Procedure. The parties may by mutual written consent extend any of the time limits provided in this Article. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the parties by mutual agreement from holding informal discussions regarding the intent or interpretations of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
Grievance Limitations. Probationary employees may not grieve termination of employment but may grieve discipline less than discharge through Level Two. The decision of the Employer relative to the filling of vacancies in Article 8 (E), Assignment/Reassignment in Article 8 (G), and the granting of Experience and Training pay credit in Article 9 (I) may be grieved only through Level Two and not to Level Three.
Grievance Limitations. If more than one Employee has the same grievance, two (2) aggrieved Employees, representing all aggrieved Employees as selected by the Union shall proceed through Step 1 of the Grievance Procedure, as set forth in this Article, representing all Employees with the same grievance. The parties hereto, in processing a grievance, reserve the right, upon mutual agreement, to eliminate any of Steps 1 and 2 of the Grievance Procedure, as set forth in this Article. A grievance must be filled within thirty (30) calendar days following knowledge of the action which gave rise to the alleged grievance.
Grievance Limitations. The parties agree that the time limitations set forth below are essential to the prompt and orderly resolution of any grievance and that each will abide by the time limitations unless an extension of time is mutually agreed upon in writing. Failure to abide by these time limitations shall preclude any subsequent filing or processing of the grievance and shall constitute an abandonment of the grievance.
Grievance Limitations. All grievances must be initiated within ten (10) business days after the alleged violation has occurred, or from when there would be reasonable basis for knowledge of the alleged violation. If the grievance is not referred to the next step within the appropriate time limit after receipt of an answer, it shall be deemed closed based upon the last answer. The parties may, by mutual written consent, extend any of the time limits provided in this Article or agree to initiate a grievance at step 2 or step 3.
Grievance Limitations. The parties agree that the time limitations set forth below are essential to the prompt and orderly resolution of any grievance and that each will abide by the time limitations unless an extension of time is mutually agreed upon in writing. Failure to abide by these time limitations shall preclude any subsequent filing or processing of the grievance and shall constitute an abandonment of the grievance. All grievances must be initiated within fifteen (15) business days after the alleged grievance has occurred or from when the grieving party or the Union knew, had reason to know or should have known of the occurrence giving rise to the grievance. Any grievance upon which a disposition is not made by the Agency within the time limits prescribed (or any extension mutually agreed upon) may be referred to the next step of the grievance procedure. Grievances that affect the bargaining unit as a whole shall be initiated at Step 3 of the grievance procedure. When a grievance results from an action at the level of the immediate supervisor or the supervisor of the immediate supervisor, the grievance shall be filed at the next step of the grievance procedure. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the parties by mutual agreement from holding informal discussions regarding the interpretation or application of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
