Step One (1) Sample Clauses

Step One (1). An employee having a grievance shall first informally discuss it with his or her immediate supervisor and endeavor to work out a satisfactory solution in an informal manner with such supervisor.

Step One (1). The Company agrees to meet with the Union during regular business hours or at a mutually agreed upon convenient time, for the purpose of processing grievances presented bythe Union or Employees subject to this Agreement. The Union and the Company agree that issues concerning Employees who are in a non-work status pending the meeting will be given priority and the meeting will be scheduled without delay to minimize employee impact. Union personnel will not participate if they are "on the clock" at the time of the meeting, however, the Company agrees to give the Union two (2) business days to arrange for a Shop Xxxxxxx or other Union Official to attend. The Company will not compensate Union personnel participating in a meeting for their time during themeeting. The Company and the Union agree that the Employee will document the complaint in writing with the Employee’s immediate supervisor (the “Immediate Supervisor”) within five (5) calendar days of the date the incident occurred. The Immediate Supervisor will pass the written complaint on to his or her immediate supervisor (the “Second Supervisor”), who will meet with the Employee to discuss the complaint. The meeting with the Second Supervisor to discuss the complaint must be documented in writing prior to elevation of the issue to Step 2. The document will set forth the specific facts related to the grievance, specifying the section and paragraph of the Agreement violated. The document will record the date and time of the meeting and will be signed by the grieving Employee and a Union representative. If the Step 1 procedure is not invoked within five (5) calendar days of the Employee’s knowledge of a gri1evable issue, then no further action shall take place. If during the discussion with the Second Supervisor, either the Employee or the Second Supervisordeems it desirable, a Xxxxxxx or other Unionrepresentative will be called to participate in the meeting. If the complaint is not satisfactorily resolved within 7 calendar days of the Step 1 discussion, it may be submitted, for further processing using Step 2 of the grievance procedure. It should be noted that verbal complaints do not count as an official Step 1 grievance; for the grievance “clock” to begin, the complaint must be submitted in writing to the Immediate Supervisor.
