Appeal of Disciplinary Action If the Union is not satisfied with the response of the Town Supervisor, the Union may submit the matter to arbitration by filing a demand for arbitration with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Services in accordance with its rules and regulations. The demand for arbitration must be filed within fourteen calendar days of receiving the response from the Town Supervisor or when the response should have been received. The fees of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by the Town and the Union. The conduct of the arbitration shall be under the exclusive jurisdiction and control of the arbitrator which shall conform to applicable law. All decisions rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all parties.
Processing of Grievance It is recognized and accepted by the Union and the County that the processing of grievances as hereinafter provided is limited by the job duties and responsibilities of the employees and shall therefore be accomplished during normal working hours only when consistent with such employee duties and responsibilities. The aggrieved employee's representative, if an employee, shall be allowed a reasonable amount of time without loss in pay, to investigate a grievance, and present grievances to the County during normal working hours provided the employee and the employee representative have notified the designated supervisor.
Pre-Disciplinary Hearing When the COUNTY intends to take disciplinary action involving suspension, salary sanction, demotion or discharge, the COUNTY will notify the non-probationary employee and the UNION in writing of the charges against the employee, the proposed disciplinary action and will provide the employee with the opportunity to respond to the charges at a hearing with the supervisor or person having authority to impose the proposed disciplinary action. In the event this proceeding is recorded, the COUNTY will provide a copy of the recordings and/or transcript to the UNION.
Disciplinary Appeals In the case of suspension without pay, demotion, or dismissal, the employee may appeal the decision of the Department Head to the City Manager. An employee shall have ten (10) calendar days from the date of the Department Head’s decision to notify the City Manager in writing of the appeal. If the employee fails to appeal the Department Head’s decision, the intended discipline shall be imposed on the day specified therein. If the employee appeals within the specified time, the Department Head will determine if the employee can remain on his/her normal work schedule or be placed on leave with pay until the appeal to the City Manager has been completed. Appeal of suspension without pay up to a maximum of forty (40) hours - In the case of suspension without pay up to a maximum of forty (40) hours, the decision of the City Manager shall be final. Appeal of suspension without pay exceeding forty (40) hours, demotion, or dismissal - In the case of suspension without pay exceeding forty (40) hours, demotion, or dismissal, the employee may appeal the decision of the City Manager to an arbitrator. A written notice of appeal must be received by the City Manager no later than five (5) calendar days following the date of the City Manager’s decision. Upon receipt of the appeal, the City Manager shall contact the State Mediation and Conciliation Service (SMCS) to provide, in accordance with its normal customary procedures, a list of names of neutral parties who may serve as an arbitrator. Upon receipt of the list from SMCS, the City and the Organization shall meet and alternately strike names from the list until the name of one individual remains, who shall serve as the arbitrator. The employee and the City shall share the fees and expenses of the arbitrator equally. A court reporter may be included in the proceedings upon mutual agreement of the parties, the cost of which shall be shared equally between the parties. All other expenses shall be borne by the party incurring them and neither party shall be responsible for the cost or expenses of witnesses called by the other party. A party requesting a transcript of the arbitration shall bear the cost thereof. The decision rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding and not appealable to the City Council or a court of law.
