The supervisor shall then attempt to resolve the matter and shall respond to the Union Representative within seven (7) calendar days.
STEP 2: If the grievance has not been resolved to the satisfaction of the Local Union within seven (7) calendar days after the immediate supervisor's response is due, it may be presented in writing by the designated Union Representative to the next level of supervision which has been designated by the Appointing Authority to process grievances. The written grievances shall state the nature of the grievance, the facts upon which it is based, the provision(s) of the Agreement allegedly violated, and the relief requested. The designated Appointing Authority Representative shall arrange a meeting with the Union Representative(s) to discuss the grievance within seven (7) calendar days. A written response shall be forwarded to the Union Representative within seven (7) calendar days of the meeting.
STEP 3: If the grievance still remains unresolved, it may be presented to the Appointing Authority or designated representative by the designated Union Representative within seven (7) calendar days after the Step 2 response is due. The Appointing Authority or designee shall arrange a meeting with the designated Union Representative(s) within seven (7) calendar days. The Appointing Authority or designee shall respond to the Union Representative and the Union staff representative in writing within seven (7) calendar days.
STEP 4: If the grievance remains unresolved after the response of the Appointing Authority is due, the Union shall have sixty (60) calendar days in which to submit a letter to the State Negotiator and the Appointing Authority stating its desire to proceed to arbitration. Within five (5) calendar days after the Union has notified the State Negotiator that it desires to proceed with the arbitration of the grievance the parties shall determine the arbitrator to hear the arbitration by the method provided for in Section 3 of this Article. Except as provided in the procedures for Section 4, expenses for the arbitrator's services and the proceedings shall be borne by the losing party, however, each party shall be responsible for compensating its own representatives and witnesses.

The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. Except as provided in the procedures for Section 4, the arbitrator shall be requested to issue his/her decision within thirty (30) calendar days after the conclusion of testimony and argument.

Action Steps State scope of practice laws can allow for broad, unre- stricted CPAs between pharmacists and other providers. To build and strengthen collaborative practices, phar- macists can use the following strategies, which were proposed by the APhA Foundation’s expert group: Use simple, understandable terms to describe the patient care services that pharmacists can provide. Educate other health care professionals about the value of including pharmacists on health care teams. Encourage other health professional organizations to work together when proposing changes to scope of practice laws. Set up or participate in interprofessional committees to discuss how scope of practice laws can expand the role of pharmacists and other health professionals in team-based care. Talk with local health care providers about entering into CPAs. Talk with payers about using viable business models to support pharmacists’ patient care services. Share appropriate health information with providers through the use of EHRs. Show relevant stakeholders the value of aligning incentives and reimbursement for all health care team members involved in patient care to improve health and decrease costs. Expanding and promoting pharmacists’ patient care services at the local level can help key stakeholders understand the value of CPAs. Patients, doctors, and other health care pro- viders can share their positive experiences with pharmacists to affirm and promote the value that pharmacists bring to the health care system. They can also champion policies that support collaborative practices.
