Processing Grievances The grievant shall be granted reasonable time off with pay from regularly scheduled duty hours to process a grievance, provided that the time off will be devoted to the prompt and efficient investigation and handling of grievances, subject to the following:
COMPLAINTS AND GRIEVANCES 22.01 It is the mutual desire of the parties to this Agreement that reasonable and legitimate complaints and grievances of employees shall be dealt with as quickly as possible.
Employer Grievances Any grievance instituted by the Employer may be referred in writing to the Chairperson of the Grievance Committee within ten (10) full working days of the occurrence of the circumstances giving rise to the grievance. The Grievance Committee shall meet with the Employer to consider the grievance. The Grievance Committee will render its decision in writing within twenty-five (25) working days of receipt of the grievance. If final settlement of the grievance is not reached the grievance may be referred, by either Party, to a Board of Arbitration as provided in Article 8 at any time within thirty (30) calendar days thereafter, but no later.
Association Grievances If a grievance affects a group of employees or the Association, the Association may initiate and submit such grievance to the Superintendent directly, and the processing of such grievance shall commence at Step 2. Grievances involving more than one supervisor and grievances involving the administrator above the building level may be filed by the Association at Step 2.
Resolution of Grievances In the event of a grievance related to a matter of discipline or any dispute as to the interpretation, application or observance of the provisions of this Agreement other than discipline, it shall be handled in the following manner:
Arbitration of Grievances If a grievance brought under Division B (GRIEVANCES) of this Article is not resolved at Step Three of that procedure, the Association may submit the matter to arbitration. Notice of intent to arbitrate (Appendix D) must be filed with the President of the University within twenty (20) working days of the date of the decision at Step Three. If no notice of intent to arbitrate is filed within the time limit, the right to arbitrate is thereby waived.
