Informal Resolution Procedure. A. The informal resolution (IR) procedure is the first method used to resolve concerns and issues and is not intended to be “evidence gathering” for a grievance. No grievance shall be filed until the UFF or faculty member has timely requested an informal resolution. The faculty member shall have the right to representation by the UFF during attempts at informal resolution. If the faculty member is not represented by UFF at this point, the University shall provide prompt notification to UFF with a copy of the request for IR.
B. Faculty are encouraged to request informal resolution as early as practicable. All requests for informal resolution shall be in writing or by e-mail and submitted to the Office of Academic Affairs. However, faculty who wish to preserve their rights to file a grievance must file a request for IR within thirty (30) days of the act or omission giving rise to the dispute, or the date on which the faculty member knew or reasonably should have known of such an act or omission if that date is later. If filed after the thirty (30) days, the request will be subject only to IR.
C. If the request for informal resolution has been timely filed, as referred to in Article 20.2.B above, and a grievance is filed at a later date in accordance with the timeline for filing a grievance, then the resulting grievance shall be considered to be timely filed as long as the other deadlines specified below are observed. However, if the request for informal resolution has not been timely requested as outlined in Article 20.2.B, the later filed grievance shall be considered time-barred.
D. The request for informal resolution shall contain a brief, general description of the facts relating to the dispute, identify the relevant provisions of the Agreement that are at issue, and include dates, times, and locations of the action(s) giving rise to the dispute.
E. Upon receipt of a request for informal resolution, the Office of Academic Affairs’ designee and the faculty member shall have thirty (30) days to attempt to informally resolve the dispute. Extensions may be granted upon mutual written agreement and such extensions shall not affect the faculty member’s right to later file a grievance in a timely manner as long as the other deadlines specified below are observed.
(1) Any resolution of the dispute brought about by the informal resolution process shall be in writing with copies provided to the faculty member requesting the informal resolution to a dispute, the UF...
Informal Resolution Procedure. The parties are encouraged to utilize the informal resolution process. The party asserting a grievance shall attempt to resolve the problem through informal communication with the appropriate supervisor. The informal resolution process shall be completed within fifteen (15) days of the date of the occurrence giving rise to the grievance or from the date when the grievant might reasonably have become aware of the occurrence. The President of the Senate or designee may accompany the faculty member to assist in the informal resolution process. If, however, such informal processes fail, a grievance may be processed as follows:
Informal Resolution Procedure. The Parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the term of this Agreement which relate to either Party's rights and/or obligations. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to litigation, if possible. To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree to follow the procedures set in this Section 10.1 if and when an issue or dispute arises under this Agreement.
Informal Resolution Procedure. Members and the Association are encouraged to settle disagreements informally. A member or a group of members may present their concern(s) to the appropriate administrator or may be represented by the Association upon written request to the President of the Association. Any step(s) of the informal resolution process may be skipped. Furthermore, any settlement, withdrawal, or other disposition of a grievance through the informal presentation shall not be considered a binding precedent in the disposition of subsequent grievances.
Informal Resolution Procedure. The aggrieved party shall notify the other party in writing (the "written notification") of the nature of the dispute with as much detail as possible about the deficient performance of the other party. Client Representative and Developer's project manager at that time responsible for this Agreement (collectively, the "Project Managers") shall meet in person or by telephone within five (5) business days of the date of the written notification to reach an agreement about the nature of the deficiency and the corrective action to be taken by the respective parties. The Project Managers shall produce a joint report about the nature of the dispute in detail to their respective management. If the Project Managers are unable to agree on corrective action, Client's senior partner or executive and Developer's President shall meet in person or by telephone to facilitate an agreement within ten (10) business days of the date of the written notification. If management cannot resolve the dispute or agree upon a written plan of corrective action to do so within such ten (10) business days, or if the agreed-upon completion dates in the written plan of corrective action are exceeded, either party may seek arbitration as provided in Section 9.2.
Informal Resolution Procedure. Prior to the service of formal charges, the Chief may initiate a meeting with the member and the Union for the purpose of resolving the situation informally. If the City intends to use anything the member says in the meeting against the member in any disciplinary action, the member will be informed at the beginning of any such meeting that whatever he/she says may be used against the member in any such action. The member may refuse to answer any questions and in such case this refusal shall not be considered insubordination. In the event that the meeting does not resolve the disciplinary action, formal charges may be served on the member after the meeting.
Informal Resolution Procedure. Prior to the service of formal charges, the Sheriff may initiate an informal meeting with the employee and the Union, if the employee requests the presence of the Union, for the purpose of attempting to resolve the situation informally. In the event that the meeting does not resolve the disciplinary action, formal charges may be served on the employee at the end of the meeting.
Informal Resolution Procedure. In the event that any Employee believes that there is a basis for a grievance, he shall, within ten (10) working days of his first knowledge of the alleged violation, schedule a meeting with his immediate supervisor to informally discuss the alleged violation. The meeting will take place within two (2) working days of the date the Employee notifies the supervisor. If after the informal discussion has concluded and the violation still exists after two (2) working days, the grievant may utilize the formal grievance procedure. The grievant may initiate the formal written grievance within seven (7) working days of the informal discussion. With prior notice, the grievant may choose to have an Association representative present during the informal discussion.
Informal Resolution Procedure. The parties acknowledge that it is most ideal for a bargaining unit member and his/her immediate supervisor to resolve problems through free and informal communications. With that in mind, a bargaining unit member may at any time submit a complaint verbally to his/her immediate supervisor. Such verbal complaint must also be shared with the appropriate Association representative. When requested by the bargaining unit member, an Association representative may accompany the member to assist in the informal resolution process with the immediate supervisor. If such process is successful, the immediate supervisor shall submit a brief summary of the grievance and resolution thereto to the grievant, the Association president, the Building Principal, and the Director of Human Resources within five (5) school days. If, however, the process fails to satisfy the bargaining unit member or the Association, a grievance may be processed as set forth below.
Informal Resolution Procedure. 7.1 If a dispute (other than a dispute relating to the use of any Photograph(s) or Editorial Text Report(s) by Betting Customers) arises out of or in connection with this Agreement or the performance, validity or enforceability of it (“Dispute”) then (except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement), the parties shall follow the procedure set out in this clause 7:
(a) either of DataCo or the Agency shall give to the other written notice of the Dispute, setting out its nature and full particulars (“Dispute Notice”), together with Relevant Supporting Documents. On service of the Dispute Notice, the Dispute Resolution Panel shall be convened and shall attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute; and
(b) the Dispute Resolution Panel shall be entitled to adopt whatever approach it sees fit to the attempt to resolve the Dispute, including without limitation inviting representatives from the Agency and/or appropriate third parties (including from the FAPL, the FL, or the Agency’s customer) to contribute to or attend any discussions;
(c) if the Dispute Resolution Panel is for any reason unable to resolve the Dispute within fourteen (14) days of service of the Dispute Notice (or such other period as the parties may agree from time to time in writing), the parties shall be entitled to progress the matter as they see fit in accordance with their rights under this Agreement or otherwise.
