Common use of Individual Requests Clause in Contracts

Individual Requests. An employee whose request to participate in the VRWS program has been denied shall have the right to request a written statement of the reason for the denial. Such written statement shall be provided within five working days of the request. Upon receipt of the written statement of the reason for the denial, the employee may request a review of the denial by the agency head or the designee of the agency head. Such requests for review must be made, and will be reviewed, in accordance with the following procedure: 1. Requests must be submitted by the employee or the employee's representative within ten working days of receipt of the written statement or of the date when the written statement was due. 2. Requests must be submitted to the official who serves as the agency head's designee at Step 2 of the grievance procedure. Employees of facilities must concurrently provide a copy of such request to the facility head. 3. Such requests shall specify why the employee believes the written reasons for the denial are improper. The request must explain how the employee believes his or her work can be reorganized or reassigned so that his or her participation in the VRWS program will not unduly interfere with the agency's program operations. 4. The designee of the agency head shall review the appeal and make a determination within ten working days of receipt. The determination shall be sent to the employee and a copy shall be sent to the President of CSEA. The determination shall be based on the record, except that the agency head's designee may hold a meeting with the employee and/or the employee's supervisors if the designee believes additional information or discussion is required to make a determination. If the employee believes that there are special circumstances that make a meeting appropriate, the employee may describe these circumstances in addition to providing the information specified in paragraph 3 above, and request that a review meeting be held. The agency head's designee shall consider such request in determining whether or not to hold a review meeting. 5. The determination of the agency head's designee shall not be subject to further appeal.
