GRIEVANCE REPORT FORM Grievance # School District Distribution of Form 1. Superintendent
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
Submission of Grievance Information a) Upon appointment of the arbitrator, the appealing party shall within five days after notice of appointment forward to the arbitrator, with a copy to the School Board, the submission of the grievance which shall include the following:
BID SUBMISSION All Bids are to be packaged, sealed and submitted to the location stated in the Bid Specifications. Bidders are solely responsible for timely delivery of their Bids to the location set forth in the Bid Specifications prior to the stated Bid opening date/time. A Bid return envelope, if provided with the Bid Specifications, should be used with the Bid sealed inside. If the Bid response does not fit into the envelope, the Bid envelope should be attached to the outside of the sealed box or package with the Bid inside. If using a commercial delivery company that requires use of their shipping package or envelope, Bidder’s sealed Bid, labeled as detailed below, should be placed within the shipper’s sealed envelope to ensure that the Bid is not prematurely opened. All Bids must have a label on the outside of the package or shipping container outlining the following information: “BID ENCLOSED (bold print, all capitals) • Group Number • IFB or RFP Number • Bid Submission date and time” In the event that a Bidder fails to provide such information on the return Bid envelope or shipping material, the receiving entity reserves the right to open the shipping package or envelope to determine the proper Bid number or Product group, and the date and time of Bid opening. Bidder shall have no claim against the receiving entity arising from such opening and such opening shall not affect the validity of the Bid or the procurement. Notwithstanding the receiving agency’s right to open a Bid to ascertain the foregoing information, Bidder assumes all risk of late delivery associated with the Bid not being identified, packaged or labeled in accordance with the foregoing requirements. All Bids must be signed by a person authorized to commit the Bidder to the terms of the Bid Documents and the content of the Bid (offer).
Grievance Forms Forms for filing grievances, serving notices, taking appeals, reports and recommendations, and other necessary documents will be prepared jointly by the Superintendent or designee and the Association so as to facilitate operation of the grievance procedure. The costs of preparing such forms shall be borne by the Board.
Claims Submission We will submit your claims and assist you in any way we reasonably can to help get your claims paid. Your insurance company may need you to supply certain information directly. It is your responsibility to comply with their request. Please be aware that the balance of your claim is your responsibility whether or not your insurance company pays your claim. Your insurance benefit is a contract between you and your insurance company; we are not party to that contract.
Grievance Committee The Hospital will recognize a Grievance Committee composed of the Chief Xxxxxxx and not more than (as set out in Local Provisions Appendix) employees selected by the Union who have completed their probationary period. A general representative of the Union may be present at any meeting of the Committee. The purpose of the Committee is to deal with complaints or grievances as set out in this Collective Agreement. The Union shall keep the Hospital notified in writing of the names of the members of the Grievance Committee appointed or selected under this Article as well as the effective date of their respective appointments. A Committee member shall suffer no loss of earnings for time spent during their regular scheduled working hours in attending grievance meetings with the Hospital up to, but not including arbitration. The number of employees on the Grievance Committee shall be determined locally.
