Initiation and Processing. The parties agree to the following procedures. PACE and the Human Resources Director agree a grievance can be initiated at the level which the Administrator/Supervisor has the authority to resolve the grievance.
Initiation and Processing. 1. Level One -- The grievant will first discuss his/her grievance with his/her principal or immediate supervisor, either directly or through the association’s designated representative.
Initiation and Processing. A grievance must be filed within thirty (30) days of the act or condition which caused the grievance or when the grievant should have known of the act or condition
Initiation and Processing. 1. Level One
a. A grievance to be considered under this procedure must be initiated, at Level One, in writing within twenty (20) days from the time the grievant knew of its occurrence. An employee with a grievance shall first notify his/her immediate administrative officer of the situation. The matter will then be discussed between the two parties with a member of the Grievance Committee of the Association. The objective of the first discussion will be the informal resolution of the matter and it shall be held within seven (7) days after written notification of the grievance, at a time mutually convenient to the parties concerned.
Initiation and Processing. All grievances will be treated as priority items and will be resolved at the earliest possible time.
Initiation and Processing. Minor problems arising from misunderstandings should be settled promptly and satisfactorily on an informal basis at the immediately involved supervisory level without becoming formal grievances. It shall be the right of the staff member to request the presence of Association representation. The prompt settlement of these problems at all steps is desirable and in the interest of sound professional relation- ships. However, should such informal processes fail to satisfy the immediate supervisor and the staff member, then a grievance may be processed. At all formal steps of a grievance, a member of the Association Grievance Committee and/or the Association Executive Director will attend all meetings, appeals, or other proceedings required to process the grievance. A grievance may be withdrawn at any time at steps 1 or 2 without creating a precedent. A grievance submitted to arbitration may be withdrawn at any time prior to an Arbitrator’s ruling, upon the written consent of the parties.
Step 1. An allegedly aggrieved staff member or the Association shall submit a grievance in writing to the immediately involved administrator or supervisor. The administrator or supervisor shall have five days to hold a hearing and present a written decision on the grievance to the aggrieved and the Association.
Step 2. Should the Association be dissatisfied with the administrator’s disposition of the matter, it shall refer the matter to the Superintendent within thirty days. The Superintendent or appointee shall meet with the aggrieved and the representative of the Association within five days of the submission of the matter to the Superintendent. Each party shall have the right to include in its representation appropriate witnesses and consultants, who shall have the full right to participate as called upon by the inviting party. Upon conclusion of the hearing, the Superintendent shall have five days in which to give a written decision on the grievance to the aggrieved and to the Association.
Step 3. If the Association is not satisfied with the disposition of the grievance in Step 2, or if the Superintendent fails to comply within the specified time limit, then the grievance may be submitted within ten days to binding arbitration. If within fifteen (15) days of the filing of the demand with the District the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, the demand shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association which shall act as administrator at the proceedings. Presentat...
