Purpose of Grievance Procedure.

A grievance shall be defined as a claim by a non-probationary employee that the Institute has violated a specific provision of this Agreement. A probationary nurse may grieve a pay claim but not other matters. A grievance shall be considered at the lowest level possible. While more than one employee may initiate and pursue a grievance under this contract, the grievance procedure is not available for class action grievances. The Association may file a grievance on behalf of more than one employee, if all are affected by the same action of the Institute, but in order to have the Institute consider such “group grievances,” the Association must identify all affected employees and the requested remedy for each affected employee at the time the grievance is filed.
