Informal Process The Informal Process provides an Employee with the opportunity to resolve his or her concern by using the open door process, with the assistance of a FC member, within 30 calendar days of the date the Employee became aware of the issue. While an Employee may speak with anyone in the open door process regarding a concern or problem, the Employee is encouraged to take this concern up with his immediate supervisor or may request the assistance of the Employee Advocate or a FC member to facilitate resolution of the issue.
Informal Procedures A. The grievant should first discuss the matter with his/her principal or administrator or supervisor to whom he/she is directly responsible in an effort to resolve the problem informally.
B. If the grievant is not satisfied with the disposition of the matter, he/she shall have the right to have a representative of his/her choice to assist him/her in further efforts to resolve the problem informally with the principal or other appropriate administrator or supervisor.
Informal Procedure A complaint may be presented informally to the administrator whose decision or action is being contested.
Informal Grievance Procedure Employees are encouraged to act promptly to attempt to resolve disputes with their manager/supervisor through an informal procedure. A meeting between the manager/supervisor and the employee should take place whenever requested by either party to assist, to clarify or resolve the grievance. The employee may be accompanied by his/her Union representative at the informal meeting. Any resolution reached at the informal step must be in accordance with the provisions of this agreement, or other rule or ordinance and shall not set precedent.
Formal Procedures 1. Upon presentation to the academic Xxxx of a petition signed by one–third (1/3) of the full–time members of the department/work area, excluding the department chair, stating specific reasons for recalling the department chair, the academic Xxxx shall promptly give fourteen (14) calendar days' written notice to all department/work area members setting forth the time, date and place of a meeting to consider the recall petition and to vote on either a motion that the department/work area chair continue in office or a motion to recommend to the President of the College that the President declares a vacancy to exist in the department/work area. The department chairperson/work area may be present at this meeting.
2. The academic Xxxx and an impartial person from the faculty at large, who shall be elected by members of the department/work area, shall conduct the recall meeting, and if the academic Xxxx and the members of the department/work area shall have so decided, shall conduct successor meetings for the same purpose. The academic Xxxx and such impartial person from the faculty at large shall record any subsequent vote(s) taken within the department/work area on this matter.
3. A vote by secret ballot of the majority of all full–time department/work area members shall be required to recommend to the President of the College or the President’s designee that the President declares a vacancy to exist in the department chair position. If a majority of the department/work area members so vote, the results of the balloting with reasons shall be forwarded to the President of the College or the President’s designee. The President of the College shall determine the recall or continuance within ten (10) calendar days and so notify the department/work area with reasons. The President's decision shall be final.
Formal Process The Formal Process is a process in which an Employee requests a formal hearing and a panel is convened to gather evidence and make a decision regarding the Employee’s concern. If an Employee is unable to get his concern resolved through the Informal Process, he may request a Formal Hearing by filing an Issue Resolution Form within three (3) business days following completion of the Informal Process. Employees may seek the assistance of a FC member or the Employee Advocate to assist in the preparation of an Issue Resolution Form. A FC facilitator shall, on a rotating basis, facilitate but shall be a non-voting participant in any Formal Hearings that may arise following the submission of an Issue Resolution Form. The FC facilitator will contact the Employee within two (2) business days of receiving the Issue Resolution Form. The Employee will select, at random, five (5) FC members to sit on the Formal Hearing Panel. The Hearing Panel will consist of three (3) bargaining unit FC members and two (2) management FC members. The Employee will randomly select four (4) bargaining unit FC member names and discard one such name of his or her choosing, and randomly select three (3) management FC names and discard one such name of his or her choosing for the Hearing Panel. The panel will convene within 10 business days of receiving the Issue Resolution Form. The panel will collect evidence and fully review all details of the Employee’s concern in order to reach a final decision about whether the Agreement and the Employees’ Charter have been fairly applied to the Employee. Employees may be assisted in the Formal Process, including the Formal Hearing, by the Employee Advocate, if they so choose. The Employee Advocate’s role in the Formal Process shall be to:
Medical Procedures 21.01 The Board shall distribute a copy of its Operating Procedures for administration of prescribed medication to pupils in schools and Procedures for health support services to each Teacher.

Informal Negotiations To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Use (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.
Informal Dispute Resolution Process 1. In the event there is a dispute under this Centralized Contract, the Contractor, OGS and Authorized User agree to exercise their best efforts to resolve the dispute as soon as possible. The Contractor, OGS and Authorized User shall, without delay, continue to perform their respective obligations under this Centralized Contract which are not affected by the dispute. Primary responsibility for resolving any dispute arising under this Centralized Contract shall rest with the Authorized User’s Contractor Coordinators and the Contractor’s Account Executive and the State & Local Government Regional General Manager.
2. In the event the Authorized User is dissatisfied with the Contractor’s Products provided under this Centralized Contract, the Authorized User shall notify the Contractor in writing pursuant to the terms of the Contract. In the event the Contractor has any disputes with the Authorized User, the Contractor shall so notify the Authorized User in writing. If either party notifies the other of such dispute, the other party shall then make good faith efforts to solve the problem or settle the dispute amicably, including meeting with the party’s representatives to attempt diligently to reach a satisfactory result through negotiation.
3. If negotiation between the Contractor and Authorized User fails to resolve any such dispute to the satisfaction of the parties within fourteen (14) business days or as otherwise agreed to by the Contractor and Authorized User, of such notice, then the matter shall be submitted to the State's Contract Administrator and the Contractor’s senior executive officer representative. Such representatives shall meet in person and shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute within the next fourteen (14) business days or as otherwise agreed to by the parties. This meeting must be held before either party may seek any other method of dispute resolution, including judicial or governmental resolutions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this section shall not be construed to prevent either party from seeking and obtaining temporary equitable remedies, including injunctive relief.
4. The Contractor shall extend the informal dispute resolution period for so long as the Authorized User continues to make reasonable efforts to cure the breach, except with respect to disputes about the breach of payment of fees or infringement of its or its licensors’ intellectual property rights.
Referral Procedures For Local Unions now having a job referral system as contained in their Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Contractor agrees to utilize such system and it shall be used exclusively by such Contractor, except as it may be modified by this Article. Referrals shall not be affected by obligations of Union membership or the lack thereof. Where airport security clearance requirements apply to work to be performed, the Contractor shall inform the Union’s hiring hall dispatcher of those requirements when requesting workers. For those Local Unions having a Book system as part of their Collective Bargaining Agreement, such system will be honored in regards to lay-off of workers from covered projects.
Section 2. In the event that Local Unions are unable to fill any request for employees within the time specified by the local CBAs the Contractor may employ applicants from any other available source. The Contractor shall inform the Union of the name and social security number of any applicants hired from other sources and shall refer the applicant to the Local Union for dispatch to the Covered Project prior to the commencement of work, and make trust fund contributions for every hour worked.
Section 3. There shall be no discrimination against any employee or applicant for employment because of his/her membership or non-membership in the Union or based upon race, creed, color, sex, age or national origin, or any other legally protected class of such employee or applicant.
Section 4. No employee covered by this PLA shall be required to join any Union as a condition of being employed on the Covered Project; provided, however, that an employee who is a member of the referring Union at the time of the referral shall maintain that membership while employed under the PLA. All employees shall, however, be required to comply with the union security provision of the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement, for the period during which they are performing on-site work, except as modified by this PLA. The Contractor agrees to deduct union dues or representation fees, whichever is applicable, from the pay of any employee who executes a voluntary authorization for such deductions and to remit the dues to the Union or Council. Initiation fees shall be waived for those employees who are not members of any signatory Union when they begin work on this Covered Project. The dues obligations of such employees shall be confined to that portion of union membership dues directly related to representation of workers in collective bargaining, and in enforcement of the Unions’ collective bargaining agreements. Nothing in this Section is intended to eliminate or affect the right of any employee to join the Union or the right of any union to collect full dues from its member.
Section 5. The Parties agree that where a Contractor is not party to a current Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Union having jurisdiction over the affected work, the Contractor may request by name, and the Local will honor, referral of up to a maximum of five (5) persons per each contractor (“core” employees), provided that the Contractor first demonstrate that those persons possess the following qualifications:
(1) Any license required by state or federal law for the Project work to be performed;
(2) Have worked a total of at least one thousand two hundred (1,200) hours in the construction craft during the prior two (2) years;
(3) Were on the Contractor’s active payroll for at least sixty (60) out of the ninety (90) calendar days prior to the contract award;
(4) Have the ability to perform the work safely. The Contractor may elect to hire its first “core” employee to be a xxxxxxx. After the Contractor hires his first core employee, the Union will refer to such Contractor one journeyman employee from the hiring hall out-of-work list for the affected trade or craft, then refer one of such Contractor’s “core” employees as a journeyman, and shall alternate one core employee and one employee from the out-of-work list, until such Contractor’s crew requirements are met or until such Contractor has hired five (5) “core” employees, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, all additional employees in the affected trade or craft shall be hired exclusively from the hiring hall out-of-work list(s). For the duration of the Contractor’s work the ratio of “core” employees to hiring hall referrals shall be maintained and when the Contractor’s workforce is reduced, employees shall be reduced in the same ratio as was applied in the initial hiring. All employees, core and union, shall be dispatched from the appropriate union. Trust benefits shall be paid on all employees, core and union.
Section 6. Upon referral or dispatch from a Union, “turnaround” or refusal of any worker by the Contractors, requires written explanation from the Contractor that shall be communicated through the Prime Contractor to the Port and affected Union within 48 hours.
Section 7. Individual seniority will not be recognized or applied to employees working on the Project. This provision will not interfere with or supersede the use by individual Contractors of “call lists” maintained by such Contractor pursuant to addenda to the local Collective Bargaining Agreement between such Contractor and a Union signatory to this PLA.
Section 8. The selection of craft foremen and/or general foremen and the number of such foremen and/or general foremen required shall be entirely the responsibility of the Contractor. Craft foremen shall be designated working foremen at the request of the Contractor. Craft workers covered by this PLA will, in the normal day- to-day operations, take their direction and supervision from their xxxxxxx.
