Grievance Hearing Within four (4) working days after the receipt of the written grievance, the Superintendent shall arrange and meet with the Union Representative for a hearing of the grievance.
Grievance Hearings Each grievance hearing will be conducted by the designated administrator to determine what, if any, violation of this Agreement has occurred. Hearings will be attended by the grievant, the Hearing officer, and up to two (2) additional representatives designated by the parties respective sides. The parties may request and mutually agree that additional witnesses/representatives may attend. Witnesses will be permitted to attend hearings in those instances when the grievant and/or the Union need information more specific than that available to the grievant or Union. The parties agree that the University will schedule grievance hearings no later than two (2) hours prior to the end of the grievant’s and/or Union representative’s work shift, and the grievant will be released from duty early enough to be able to attend the grievance hearing as scheduled. If such hearings extend beyond the end of the normal work schedule of any bargaining unit member(s), the bargaining unit member(s) present at the grievance hearing will not be paid for any time spent after the end of the work schedule. Grievance hearings for bargaining unit members whose work schedules are other than the standard day shift will be scheduled at mutually convenient times. A “class action” grievance is when more than one (1) employee files a grievance over the same alleged violation, misapplication and/or misinterpretation of the terms of the Agreement. When such occurs the grievant or the Union will attempt to identify the bargaining unit members initially involved in the class action grievance, or will provide a description of the class in sufficient detail to enable the University to investigate the grievance. In class action grievances no more than one (1) grievant may attend the hearings.
Grievance File Records involving the processing of an employee's grievance, such as the grievance form, step appeals/responses, and settlement documents, will be kept in a file separate from the employee’s personnel file. It is not the intent of this section to exclude from the employee's personnel file final disciplinary action documents, including those that result from a settlement agreement.
Grievance Forms Each grievance, request for review, and notice of arbitration must be submitted in writing on the appropriate form attached as Appendices C, D and E to this Agreement and shall be signed by the grievant. All grievance forms shall be dated when the grievance is received. If there is difficulty in meeting any time limit, the UFF representative may sign such documents for the grievant; however, grievant's signature shall be provided prior to the Step 2 meeting.

Separate Grievance File All documents, communications and records dealing with the processing of a grievance shall be filed in a separate grievance file and shall not be kept in the personnel file of any of the participants.
GRIEVANCE REPORT Attachment I (Grievance Report) will be used in the processing of all grievances.
Grievance Steps Grievances shall be handled in the following manner: Step One: The grievant, advocate and/or Union staff representative shall present a grievance orally to the grievant’s immediate supervisor within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of the occurrence of the facts or from the date the alleged violation first became known, whichever is later. The supervisor shall respond in writing to the grievance within ten (10) calendar days of the presentation to agree to resolve the grievance or to deny the grievance. The supervisor’s response shall be addressed to both the grievant and the Union. Should the supervisor fail to respond within this time frame, the Union shall have the right to forward the grievance to the next step. Step Two: If no resolution or settlement is reached between the grievant and the supervisor, the grievant or the Union may file a written appeal of the supervisor’s decision rendered in Step One to the appropriate Program Director or his/her designated representative. The grievant or Union shall file this written grievance within fifteen (15) calendar days after his/her receipt of the supervisor’s decision from Step One. A meeting with the appropriate Program Director or his/her representative, the grievant and the advocate or Union staff representative shall be held not later than ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the written grievance. The appropriate Program Director’s response shall be addressed to the grievant and the Union. The appropriate Program Director’s response shall be final and binding on the employee, the Union, and the Employer unless it is timely appealed to arbitration by the Union in accordance with this Article. Grievances concerning discharge or discrimination, or grievances filed by the Union shall be filed initially at Step Two. Group grievances claiming the same alleged conduct involving employees who work under more than one supervisor may be filed initially at Step Two. Multiple individual grievances alleging the same violation that are filed during the same time frame may be combined into a group grievance and commenced at Step Two.
Grievance Form The grievance form which must be used for filing of grievances shall be provided by the District. Such form shall be readily accessible in all school buildings or electronically available on the District’s website. (See Attachment B – Grievance Form)
