  • Grievances SECTION 1 For the purposes of this Agreement, a grievance shall be defined as: Any complaint by a teacher covered by this Agreement that: (1) the teacher has been subject to a violation, inequitable application, or misinterpretation of a specific provision of this Agreement, or (2) the teacher has been subjected to an unfair or discriminatory act contrary to established policy and practice. SECTION 2 The purpose of this procedure is to secure, at the lowest possible administrative level, equitable solutions to the problems which may from time to time arise affecting the welfare or working conditions of teachers. Both parties agree that these proceedings will be kept as informal and confidential as may be appropriate at any level of this procedure. SECTION 3 Nothing herein contained will be construed as limiting the right of any teacher having a grievance to discuss the matter informally with an appropriate member of the administration and to have the grievance adjusted without intervention of the Association, provided the adjustment is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and that the Association has been given the opportunity to be present at such adjustment above level one and to state its views. If the teacher so chooses, a representative of the Association may be present at level one. The grievant may not elect to have anyone other than the exclusive bargaining representative present or to represent him/her during the grievance/arbitration procedure without the express written consent of the Association. The Association must be notified of the outcome of any level one grievance at which an Association representative is not present. SECTION 4 No written communication, other document, or record relating to any grievance shall be filed in the personnel file maintained by the School Department of the Town of Needham for any teacher involved in presenting such grievance. SECTION 5 Since it is important that grievances be processed as rapidly as possible, the number of days indicated at each level should be considered as maximum, and every effort should be made to expedite the process. For grievances and arbitration time limits, "days" shall be defined as days within the work year for teachers when students are in scheduled classes, including part-days and exam days. The time limits specified may be extended only by mutual agreement. It is understood and agreed that no grievance, dispute, misunderstanding, or difference between the parties arising out of the acts which occurred prior to the execution to this Agreement shall be submitted to the Committee under the provisions of this Article. It is understood that any grievances pending at the conclusion of the contract will remain operative in the subsequent contract period unless settled in negotiations. A teacher may contact the Association at any time prior to or during the grievance procedure. SECTION 6 If at the end of twenty (20) days next following either the occurrence of any grievance or the date when the teacher should reasonably have had first knowledge of its occurrence, whichever is later, the grievance shall not have been presented at Level One, as set forth below, the grievance shall be deemed to have been waived. The Superintendent or designee will respond in writing within ten (10) days of the Level Two meeting. SECTION 7 If there is a grievance which directly affects a group or class of teachers or is of a general nature, the Association may submit such a grievance in writing directly to the level of administration having the appropriate authority to resolve said grievance. SECTION 8 A grievance not initiated within the time specified shall be deemed waived. Failure of the teacher filing the grievance to appeal a decision within the time limit specified will mean that the grievance shall be considered settled on the basis of the decision last made and shall not be eligible for further appeal. Failure of the School Committee to answer an appeal within the time limit specified shall mean that the appeal may be taken to the next step immediately. The above limitations may be waived by mutual agreement of the parties. SECTION 9 In the event a grievance is filed on or after June l which, if left unresolved until the beginning of the following school year could result in irreparable harm to a party in interest, the time limits set forth herein will be reduced so that the grievance procedure may be exhausted prior to the end of the school year or as soon thereafter as is practicable. SECTION 10 The School Committee will, upon request, provide the Association with copies of any documents in its possession including approved minutes of the School Committee which may be necessary for the Association to process grievances under the Agreement.

  • Grievance Redressal In case of any grievance on shortfall penalty, the Contractor may appeal to the Director (Technical) of the Subsidiary Company. Director (Technical) and Director (Finance) shall jointly dispose off the appeal within 15 days by passing suitable order based on the merit of the case. No further committee shall be constituted for redressal of such grievance.

  • Grievance Mediation Nothing in this Article precludes the Parties from mutually agreeing to grievance mediation during any stage of the grievance procedure. The agreement shall be made in writing and stipulate the name of the person and the time line for grievance mediation to occur.

  • Group Grievance Where a number of employees have identical grievances and each employee would be entitled to grieve separately they may present a group grievance in writing signed by each employee who is grieving to the Administrator or her designate within ten (10) days after the circumstances giving rise to the grievance have occurred or ought reasonably to have come to the attention of the employee(s). The grievance shall then be treated as being initiated at Step No. 1 and the applicable provisions of this Article shall then apply with respect to the processing of such grievance.

  • Grievance Files Written grievances and responses will be maintained separately from the employee’s personnel file.

  • Submission of Grievances A. Any employee or group of employees shall have the right to present a grievance. No employee or group of employees shall be hindered from or disciplined for exercising this right. B. If any two (2) or more employees have essentially the same grievance they may, and if requested by the County must, collectively present and pursue their grievance if they report to the same immediate supervisor. C. If the grievant is a group of more than three (3) employees, the group shall, at the request of the County, appoint one (1) or two (2) employees to speak for the collective group. To be considered a grievant in a group grievance, each employee must be individually identified as a grievant when the grievance is submitted at Step 2.
