Time Limits and Procedure Sample Clauses
The "Time Limits and Procedure" clause establishes specific deadlines and step-by-step processes that parties must follow to fulfill their contractual obligations or exercise certain rights. It typically outlines when actions such as notifications, submissions, or responses must occur, and may detail the method for delivering required documents or information. By clearly defining these timelines and procedures, the clause helps prevent misunderstandings, ensures timely performance, and provides a structured framework for managing key contractual events.
Time Limits and Procedure. (a) When the aggrieved Employee fails to process a grievance within the time limits specified in Clauses 25.04, 25.05 and 25.06, the employee shall be deemed to have abandoned the grievance.
(b) When the immediate manager or designated officer receiving a grievance fails to process the grievance within the time limits specified in Clauses 25.04 and 25.05, the aggrieved Employee shall automatically be eligible to advance the grievance to the next higher level, except that a grievance relative to the dismissal, suspension or demotion of a probationary employee is ineligible for presentation to Level 3.
(c) A grievance or a reply shall be dated the date it was delivered.
(d) The time limit to file or respond to a grievance may be extended by mutual written agreement between Employee Services and the Union or Local.
(e) A formal grievance may be submitted to the Designated Officer, or
(i) to Employee Services, or
(ii) by registered mail, or
(iii) by fax to Employee Services.
(f) The Designated Officer shall submit a written reply to the employee, with a copy to the Union within ten (10) days of the receipt of the grievance.
(g) When a grievance is processed by registered mail, the grievance shall be deemed to have been submitted on the day on which it was registered by the aggrieved. Similarly, the Designated Officer shall be deemed to have submitted a reply at any level on the date on which the letter containing the reply was registered. The time limit within which the aggrieved may submit the grievance to the next higher level shall be calculated from the date on which the Designated Officer's reply was delivered to the address shown on the grievance form.
