Hardship Committee Sample Clauses

Hardship Committee. The hardship committee shall be a standing committee and consist of the Association President as chair, the Association Treasurer, and other members appointed by the Executive Board. This committee shall coordinate and manage the process of awarding financial hardship funds to those that apply on an annual basis.

Hardship Committee. A committee, composed of two (2) members appointed by the Board and two (2) members appointed by the Union will be formed to review petitions from employees on a case-by-case basis who request consideration for exemption from the prohibition of dual coverage language. 1. Exemption will not be considered merely because a spouse's employer requires the spouse to take an entire insurance package. Consideration will be given for serious reasons, including but not limited to; if the spouse's insurance is minimal in nature and the spouse is required to take the insurance; if the spouse, because of impending retirement is required to retain or resume coverage for a short period of time; or if the spouse's health insurance (which he/she is required to take) does not provide for a benefit and the tax-sheltered annuity benefit noted in J. 8.(a) above does not make up the difference. 2. The Committee will make its recommendation to the Superintendent. The employee shall, within five (5) work days of the Superintendent’s recommendation, have the right to grieve the recommendation at the Board level. The final decision for the grievance and the recommendation shall rest with the Board. The employee may not request arbitration for Committee, Administration or Board decisions regarding hardship requests.
