Grievance File Records involving the processing of an employee's grievance, such as the grievance form, step appeals/responses, and settlement documents, will be kept in a file separate from the employee’s personnel file. It is not the intent of this section to exclude from the employee's personnel file final disciplinary action documents, including those that result from a settlement agreement.
Grievance Files Written grievances and responses will be maintained separately from the employee’s personnel file.
Separate Grievance File All documents, communications and records dealing with the processing of a grievance shall be filed in a separate grievance file and shall not be kept in the personnel file of any of the participants.
Official File There is only one official file for each academic staff member and it shall be located in Human Resources. Copies of the data contained in the file in Human Resources may also be kept in the academic unit. The University is responsible for ensuring that the file in Human Resources has all of the relevant data. In particular, material in the academic unit used in connection with the renewal of probation, tenure, promotion or salary review shall be placed in the file at the conclusion of the performance review process. The file shall contain only material pertinent to the academic staff member's employment with the University in an academic staff position. It shall not contain any anonymous material except for aggregated and summarized student course/instructor evaluations as indicated in Article 17.18. Each entry shall be officially date stamped as of the day it arrives in Human Resources. The academic staff member may add a signed and dated response to any material contained in the official file. The official file may be examined by the academic staff member or by another member upon the written authorization of the member, at any time during regular office hours, in company with a Human Resources employee. The member may choose to be accompanied by a representative of the Faculty Association. The member may be required to produce photo ID. Upon written request to Human Resources, and at their own expense, academic staff members may obtain copies of the documents contained in the official file. Any information in the official file pertaining to a grievance in which the academic staff member is directly involved shall be made available to the Chair of the Faculty Association or designate. A letter of reprimand and all associated documents shall be removed from the file upon written request from the academic staff member after a period of three years, provided there has been no documented disciplinary action in the interim. Notwithstanding the above, upon written request by a member to the Xxxx and with the concurrence of the Xxxx, such material may be removed before the three-year period expires. Contents of the member’s file may not be removed except as provided for elsewhere in this collective agreement.
Grievance Form The grievance form which must be used for filing of grievances shall be provided by the District. Such form shall be readily accessible in all school buildings or electronically available on the District’s website. (See Attachment B – Grievance Form)
Official Personnel File Only one (1) official personnel file shall be kept for each employee at the appropriate personnel office. Records of previous discipline not found in the official personnel file cannot be used against an employee in any future disciplinary proceeding. Grievances shall not be kept in the employee’s official personnel file. Employees shall be informed as to where their personnel file is maintained.
Grievance Forms Each grievance, request for review, and notice of arbitration must be submitted in writing on the appropriate form attached as Appendices C, D and E to this Agreement and shall be signed by the grievant. All grievance forms shall be dated when the grievance is received. If there is difficulty in meeting any time limit, the UFF representative may sign such documents for the grievant; however, grievant's signature shall be provided prior to the Step 2 meeting.
Grievance Hearings Each grievance hearing will be conducted by the designated administrator to determine what, if any, violation of this Agreement has occurred. Hearings will be attended by the grievant, the Hearing officer, and up to two (2) additional representatives designated by the parties respective sides. The parties may request and mutually agree that additional witnesses/representatives may attend. Witnesses will be permitted to attend hearings in those instances when the grievant and/or the Union need information more specific than that available to the grievant or Union. The parties agree that the University will schedule grievance hearings no later than two (2) hours prior to the end of the grievant’s and/or Union representative’s work shift, and the grievant will be released from duty early enough to be able to attend the grievance hearing as scheduled. If such hearings extend beyond the end of the normal work schedule of any bargaining unit member(s), the bargaining unit member(s) present at the grievance hearing will not be paid for any time spent after the end of the work schedule. Grievance hearings for bargaining unit members whose work schedules are other than the standard day shift will be scheduled at mutually convenient times. A “class action” grievance is when more than one (1) employee files a grievance over the same alleged violation, misapplication and/or misinterpretation of the terms of the Agreement. When such occurs the grievant or the Union will attempt to identify the bargaining unit members initially involved in the class action grievance, or will provide a description of the class in sufficient detail to enable the University to investigate the grievance. In class action grievances no more than one (1) grievant may attend the hearings.
Grievance Hearing Within four (4) working days after the receipt of the written grievance, the Superintendent shall arrange and meet with the Union Representative for a hearing of the grievance.
Grievance Records All documents, communications, and records dealing with the processing of a grievance shall be filed separately from the personnel files of the participants.
