Adverse Action The Indenture Trustee need not take an action that it determines might have a material adverse effect on the rights of the Noteholders not consenting to the action.
Grievance Steps Step One (1) - Filing the Grievance with the Agency Director or Designee If an employee or the Union believes that he/she has been assigned duties not within his/her current classification, the employee or the Union may file a grievance with the Agency Director or designee. The Agency Director or designee shall investigate and issue a decision after review and approval by the Office of Collective Bargaining, within thirty-five (35) calendar days. A copy of the Director’s or designee’s decision and a legible copy of the grievance form shall be provided to the grievant and OCSEA Central Office. If the parties mutually agree, a meeting to attempt to resolve the grievance may be held at the grievant’s work site prior to the issuance of the decision of the Director or designee. A request by the Office of Collective Bargaining to discuss the resolution of the grievance shall not extend the twenty (20) day period within which the Union has a right to appeal the matter to arbitration under Step Two (2). If the Director or designee determines that the employee is performing duties which meet the classification concept and which constitute a substantial portion of the duties (i.e., twenty percent (20%) or more of the employee’s time if to a higher classification or eighty percent (80%) of the employee’s time if to a lower classification) specified in another classification specification, the Director shall order the immediate discontinuance of the inappropriate duties being performed by the employee, unless the parties agree to the reclassification of the person and position pursuant to the provisions of this Article. If the duties are determined to be those contained in a classification with a lower pay range than the employee’s current classification, no monetary award will be issued. If the duties are determined to be those contained in a classification with a higher pay range than that of the employee’s current classification, the Director or designee shall issue an award of monetary relief, provided that the employee has performed the duties as previously specified for a period of four (4) or more working days. The amount of the monetary award shall be the difference between the employee’s regular hourly rate of pay, and the hourly rate of pay at the applicable step of the higher pay range for the new classification. The applicable step shall be the step in the higher pay range which is approximately four percent (4%) higher than the current step rate of the employee. If a step does not exist in the higher pay range that guarantees the employee approximately a four percent (4%) increase, the employee will be placed in the last step of the higher pay range. The placement into the last step does not necessarily guarantee a four percent (4%) increase. If the higher level duties are of a permanent nature as agreed to by the Union and the Employer, the employee shall be reclassified to the higher classification. If the duties are determined to be those contained in a classification with a lower pay range eighty percent (80%) or more of the time than that of the employee’s current classification: 1.) the Director or designee shall issue an award to cease the assignment of the lower level duties, and take appropriate action to assign duties consistent with the employee’s current classification; or 2.) the parties mutually agree to reclassify the employee to the lower level classification, the employee may be reassigned to the appropriate classification; or 3.) if the duties cannot be assigned by the Employer, other actions, as appropriate, may be initiated under this Agreement. Management shall discuss options with the Union. In no event shall the monetary award be retroactive to a date earlier than four (4) working days prior to the date of the filing of the original grievance. The date of the filing of the grievance shall be determined by the postmark or other evidence of delivery, whichever is earlier, to the agency. Step Two (2) - Appeal to Arbitration Grievances which have not been settled under the foregoing procedure may be appealed to arbitration by the Union by providing a written appeal and a legible copy of the Working Out of Class grievance form to the Deputy Director of the Office of Collective Bargaining within twenty (20) days of the Step One (1) answer or the date such answer was due. If the Employer fails to issue the answer and legible copy of the grievance form to the Central Office, the Union may appeal the grievance to arbitration at such time as it discovers such failure to timely answer, but not more than one-hundred twenty (120) days from the original filing of the grievance. The parties shall schedule an arbitrator to determine if an employee was performing the duties which meet the classification concept and consist of a substantial portion of the duties (i.e., 20% or more of the employee’s time if to a higher classification or eighty percent (80%) of the employee’s time if to a lower classification) as specified in the classification specification other than the one to which the employee is currently assigned and for what period of time. Present at the hearing shall be a union representative, the grievant or the employee whose duties are being challenged, and a management representative and agency designee who will present their arguments to the arbitrator. The employee’s position description will be admitted into evidence at the hearing. If the Union disagrees with the accuracy of the position description, it may file objections with the Management advocate accompanied by its version of what actual duties were performed at least two

Written Grievance If the grievance is not resolved at Step 1, the home care worker and/or Union representative shall set forth the grievance in writing including a statement of the pertinent facts surrounding the grievance, the date on which the incident occurred, the alleged violations of the Agreement, and the specific remedy requested. The written grievance shall be submitted to the Employer within thirty (30) calendar days of the occurrence of the alleged violation or within thirty (30) calendar days of when the home care worker or the Union could reasonably have been aware of the incident or occurrence giving rise to the grievance. The written grievance shall be submitted by email to xxxxx.xxxxxxxxx@xxx.xx.xxx. The Employer or the Employer's designee shall meet with the grievant and their Union representative within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the written grievance, in order to discuss and resolve the grievance. Subsequent to this meeting, if the grievance remains unresolved, the Employer will provide a written response to the grievance by email within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date the parties met to discuss the grievance. If the response does not resolve the grievance, the Union may, within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the response, proceed to Step 4, Arbitration. Step 3. (Optional) Mediation As an alternative prior to final and binding arbitration in Step 4, if the matter is not resolved in Step 2 the parties may choose by mutual agreement to submit the matter to mediation in order to resolve the issue. The party requesting mediation of the dispute must notify the other party by email no later than fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt by the Union of the emailed response from the Employer in Step 2. The party receiving the request for mediation must notify the other party by email within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the request whether or not it agrees to mediate the dispute. If the party receiving the request does not agree to mediate the dispute, the Union may, within fourteen (14) calendar days of the email notification of the decision not to mediate, proceed to Step 4, Arbitration. If the parties agree to mediation, they shall select a neutral mediator. Both parties shall submit a statement of their position on the issue. The mediator may also bring the parties together in person to attempt to resolve the issue. The parties shall each pay one-half (1/2) the costs or fees, if any, of the neutral mediator. Each party shall be responsible for its own costs, including the costs of representation, advocacy and the costs of that party's appointed representatives. If the issue is successfully resolved by mediation, the decision shall be binding on all parties, and shall, unless specifically agreed otherwise, form a precedent for similar issues. If the issue is not successfully resolved through mediation, the Union may, within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of a written declaration of impasse or rejection of a settlement offer from either party, proceed to Step 4, Arbitration.
