STEP ONE - INFORMAL RESOLUTION Sample Clauses

The STEP ONE - INFORMAL RESOLUTION clause establishes a process for parties to attempt to resolve disputes through informal discussions before pursuing formal legal action. Typically, this involves one party notifying the other of the issue and both parties engaging in good faith negotiations or meetings to seek a mutually acceptable solution. By requiring informal resolution as a first step, the clause aims to encourage communication, reduce litigation costs, and resolve conflicts efficiently without resorting to court or arbitration.
STEP ONE - INFORMAL RESOLUTION. Every effort shall be made to resolve problems through informal channels before using the formal process. The employee will meet with the immediate exempt supervisor to discuss and attempt to resolve the issue before a formal grievance is initiated. The supervisor shall render a decision within five (5) working days. Any informal resolution of a grievance or complaint shall be consistent with this Agreement. If the Union is of the opinion that a complaint has been informally resolved in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, then the Union may grieve the informal resolution. Step One shall not apply to group, Union or policy grievances initiated by the parties to this Agreement. These grievances shall commence at Step Two.
