Common use of Initiation and Processing Clause in Contracts

Initiation and Processing. Minor problems arising from misunderstandings should be settled promptly and satisfactorily on an informal basis at the immediately involved supervisory level without becoming formal grievances. It shall be the right of the staff member to request the presence of Association representation. The prompt settlement of these problems at all steps is desirable and in the interest of sound professional relation¬ships. However, should such informal processes fail to satisfy the immediate supervisor and the staff member, then a grievance may be processed. At all formal steps of a grievance, a member of the Association Grievance Commit¬tee and/or the Association Executive Director will attend all meetings, appeals, or other proceedings required to process the grievance. A grievance may be withdrawn at any time at steps 1 or 2 without creating a precedent. A grievance submitted to arbitration may be withdrawn at any time prior to an Arbitrator’s ruling, upon the written consent of the parties.
