Common use of Oral Discussion Clause in Contracts

Oral Discussion. The employee first shall discuss his grievance with the Xxxxxxx or Union Representative and if the Xxxxxxx considers the grievance to be valid then the employee and the Xxxxxxx will contact the employee's Program Manager and will attempt to effect a settlement of the complaint. To timely initiate the grievance process, this contact must occur within ten (10) work days from the first occurrence on which the grievance is based or when it was first discovered by the affected employee or Union Representative. This procedure, however, will not prevent an employee from contacting his supervisor directly if he so chooses. If the purpose of the employee's contacting his supervisor is to adjust the grievance, the Xxxxxxx shall be given an opportunity to be present and such adjustment shall be in conformity with this Agreement.
