When a grievance is filed by an individual bargaining unit member, Human Resources at Fire Rescue shall immediately forward a copy of the grievance to the Union office and email the Principal Officers at the Union email address. The Union may, with the employee’s concurrence, within ten (10) business days of the County’s receipt of the original grievance, amend the original grievance and file the amended grievance with Human Resources at Fire Rescue. The Division Chief or his designee shall have no more than ten (10) business days to hold an informal meeting with the union representative and the employee to attempt resolution of the issue before continuing forward with the grievance process.

The original Grievance Form is maintained by Human Resources at Fire Rescue. If the pre-grievance discussion meeting has not resolved the issue to both parties satisfaction the Union or employee may within ten (10) business days of the receipt of the written answer, formally move the issue through the grievance process through communication with Human Resources at Fire Rescue.
