Common use of SECTION A STATEMENT Clause in Contracts

SECTION A STATEMENT. The purpose of the Grievance Procedure is to establish channels of communications between employees, supervisors and management. The City encourages any employee having a grievance related to his or her working conditions to discuss the matter informally with his or her immediate supervisor without undue delay. The informal discussion need not be reduced to writing and no records need be kept. The purpose of informal discussion is to settle grievances fairly and as quickly as possible. Management may limit an employee to a maximum of three employee representatives on the clock, unless management has a higher number of representatives. The employee may have his or her designated BCEA/AFSCME representative present during any step of this procedure.
