Step One - Informal. 1. Grievant shall first attempt to resolve a grievance informally with the grievant’s immediate supervisor. This attempt at informal resolution shall be made by the grievant within the earlier of ten (10) calendar days of the date the grievant first has knowledge of the events or circumstances giving rise to the grievance, or within forty-five (45) calendar days of the date these events or circumstances occurred.

Three (3) days shall be allowed for this informal process to resolve the grievance. If the informal process fails to resolve the grievance, the grievant may initiate the formal grievance process in accordance with the following:

Step One - Informal. Within Fifteen Days of the occurrence, or knowledge of the act or condition which is the basis of the complaint, the grievant and the Association must discuss the concern with his/her immediate supervisor with the objective of solving the matter.

The supervisor shall provide a written response to the grievant or Grievance Representative within seven (7) calendar days after the initial attempt at informal resolution.
2. If the grievant is not satisfied with the response from the immediate supervisor at this Step, the grievant may pursue the formal Steps which follow. In doing so, the grievant may seek the assistance of the Grievance Representative.
