GRIEVANCEPROCEDURE Sample Clauses
The Grievance Procedure clause establishes a formal process for addressing and resolving complaints or disputes that arise between parties, typically within an employment or organizational context. It outlines the steps that an employee or member must follow to submit a grievance, such as notifying a supervisor, submitting a written complaint, and participating in meetings or hearings to discuss the issue. This clause ensures that grievances are handled in a structured and fair manner, providing a clear pathway for resolution and helping to prevent escalation or misunderstandings.
