If the grievance is not settled during the work day it is discussed at Step 1, it shall be reduced to writing and signed by the grievant within ten (10) work days after discussion with the supervisor. If a grievance relates to a matter affecting several employees in a like manner, it may be signed by one affected employee and by mutual agreement may be moved automatically to Step 2.
Step 2. The written grievance shall be discussed between the grievant and the Sheriff or his designated representative. The grievant’s xxxxxxx shall be present during such meeting. The Sheriff or his designated representative shall give his written decision on the grievance within the next ten (10) work days following this Step 2 discussion.

Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.3. Notice of such request for arbitration must be indicated on the grievance report form as used by the parties as well as filed in writing with the Sheriff and the Human Resources Director within ten (10) days after the date of Step 2 answer. If such request for binding arbitration is not made within such ten (10) day period, the grievance will be considered closed on the basis of the Step 2 answer.
