AUDIT REVIEW PROCEDURES Any dispute concerning a question of fact arising under an interim or post audit of this AGREEMENT that is not disposed of by agreement, shall be reviewed by ALAMEDA CTC’s Deputy Executive Director of Finance and Administration. Not later than thirty (30) calendar days after issuance of the final audit report, CONSULTANT may request a review by ALAMEDA CTC’s Deputy Executive Director of Finance and Administration of unresolved audit issues. The request for review will be submitted in writing. Neither the pendency of a dispute nor its consideration by ALAMEDA CTC will excuse CONSULTANT from full and timely performance, in accordance with the terms of this AGREEMENT. CONSULTANT and subconsultants’ contracts, including cost proposals and ICRs, may be subject to audits or reviews such as, but not limited to, an AGREEMENT Audit, an Incurred Cost Audit, an ICR Audit, or a certified public accountant (“CPA”) ICR Audit Workpaper Review. If selected for audit or review, the AGREEMENT, cost proposal and ICR and related workpapers, if applicable, will be reviewed to verify compliance with 48 CFR, Chapter 1, Part 31 and other related laws and regulations. In the instances of a CPA ICR Audit Workpaper Review it is CONSULTANT’s responsibility to ensure federal, state, or local government officials are allowed full access to the CPA’s workpapers including making copies as necessary. The AGREEMENT, cost proposal, and ICR shall be adjusted by CONSULTANT and approved by ALAMEDA CTC to conform to the audit or review recommendations. CONSULTANT agrees that individual terms of costs identified in the audit report shall be incorporated into the contract by this reference if directed by ALAMEDA CTC at its sole discretion. Refusal by CONSULTANT to incorporate audit or review recommendations, or to ensure that the federal, state, or local governments have access to CPA workpapers, will be considered a breach of contract terms and cause for termination of the AGREEMENT and disallowance of prior reimbursed costs.
Review Procedure If the Plan Administrator denies part or all of the claim, the claimant shall have the opportunity for a full and fair review by the Plan Administrator of the denial, as follows:
Formal Grievance Procedure 1.

2. Upon written request of the AAUP Contract Compliance Officer, the College shall submit any requested documents in its possession which may be necessary for investigation of the grievance.

Informal Grievance Procedure Employees are encouraged to act promptly to attempt to resolve disputes with their manager/supervisor through an informal procedure. A meeting between the manager/supervisor and the employee should take place whenever requested by either party to assist, to clarify or resolve the grievance. The employee may be accompanied by his/her Union representative at the informal meeting. Any resolution reached at the informal step must be in accordance with the provisions of this agreement, or other rule or ordinance and shall not set precedent.
000 GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE 7. 100 It is agreed that it is the spirit and intent of this Agreement to adjust grievances promptly.

Procedure If any action is brought against an Underwriter, a Selected Dealer or a Controlling Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company pursuant to Section 6.1, such Underwriter, such Selected Dealer or Controlling Person, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the institution of such action and the Company shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment and fees of counsel (subject to the reasonable approval of such Underwriter or such Selected Dealer, as the case may be) and payment of actual expenses. Such Underwriter, such Selected Dealer or Controlling Person shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Underwriter, such Selected Dealer or Controlling Person unless (i) the employment of such counsel at the expense of the Company shall have been authorized in writing by the Company in connection with the defense of such action, or (ii) the Company shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action, or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the Company (in which case the Company shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one additional firm of attorneys selected by such Underwriter (in addition to local counsel), Selected Dealer and/or Controlling Person shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Underwriter, Selected Dealer or Controlling Person shall assume the defense of such action as provided above, the Company shall have the right to approve the terms of any settlement of such action which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE & ARBITRATION 36.01 A grievance is defined as any difference or dispute arising between the Union and the Company relating to the interpretation, application, administration or alleged violation of the Agreement, including any question as to whether a matter is arbitrable.
36.02 There are three types of grievances under this Collective Agreement:
(a) An Individual Grievance, which is an unresolved complaint of an individual employee wherein he or she believes that the Collective Agreement has been improperly interpreted, applied or administered to his or her detriment. An Individual Grievance may be submitted at Step 1 of the grievance procedure following the attempt to try to resolve the matter as per 36.04.
(b) A Group Grievance, which is an unresolved complaint of a group of employees wherein they believe that the Collective Agreement has been improperly interpreted, applied or administered to their collective detriment. A group grievance may be submitted at Step 1 of the grievance procedure within ten (10) days of when the employees became or ought reasonably to have become aware that the circumstances giving rise to the grievance occurred.
(c) A Policy Grievance which is an unresolved issue arising between the Union and the Employer around the interpretation, application or administration of the Collective Agreement but does not include matters which could be pursued either as an Individual or Group Grievance. A policy grievance may be submitted by the Union or the Employer at Step 2 of the grievance procedure within ten (10) days of when the party became or ought reasonably to have become aware that the circumstances giving rise to the grievance occurred.
36.03 For the purpose of this Article, reference to "days" relating to Steps in the grievance and arbitration procedure shall mean calendar days.
36.04 Employees who have a complaint shall first take the matter up with their Supervisor/Manager within five (5) days when the cause of the complainant occurred or ought to have reasonably come to the attention of the employee. The employee may be accompanied by a Xxxxxxx and the Xxxxxxx may also discuss the matter with the Supervisor/Manager before the grievance is committed to writing. If the matter is not resolved within five (5) days of it first being raised or if the decision of the Supervisor/Manager is not satisfactory to the Xxxxxxx, the Xxxxxxx/Committee Person may appeal the decision by filing a grievance. The grievance will be committed to writing and delivered to the Manager, Supervisor or the Human Resources department within five (5) days after the Xxxxxxx has received the decision. Following the issuance of the grievance, proceed to Step One (1).
36.05 Grievances may also arise from the issuance of a corrective action by the Employer. An employee that is given a corrective action and feels that the subject matter or the punishment resulting from the corrective action is inappropriate may file a grievance within five (5) days after the Xxxxxxx has received the decision. Grievances will be committed to writing and delivered to the Manager, Supervisor or Human Resources department. Following the issuance of the grievance, proceed to Step One (1).
