A meeting shall then be held between the Program Director, the HSO, and CIR/SEIU within seven (7) calendar days of notice of the potential grievance. During the meeting the parties will attempt to resolve the grievance. If the matter is not resolved to the satisfaction of the HSO or CIR/SEIU representative, the grievance shall be brought forward as described below. First Step Within thirty (30) calendar days of the violation or when the HSO or CIR/SEIU became aware of the violation, the HSO or CIR/SEIU shall present the grievance in writing to the Department Chair (or his or her designated representative) with a copy to the UNM Employee Relations Representative. The Department Chair shall give his or her answer in writing to the HSO and CIR/SEIU representative within ten (10) calendar days thereafter. Second Step If no satisfactory settlement is reached at the First Step, the HSO or CIR/SEIU may present the grievance in writing to the Associate Xxxx for Graduate Medical Education or his or her designated representative, and to the UNM Employee Relations Representative, within seven (7) calendar days after the HSO or CIR/SEIU representative receives the First Step answer from the Department Chair.
