Processing Grievance. All documents, communications, and records dealing with the processing of a grievance will be filed separately from the personnel files of the participants unless the individual in question files a written request to the contrary.
Processing Grievance. Grievances shall be processed in the following manner:
Processing Grievance. (a) The procedures established by this Article shall be the exclusive remedy for any grievance. Any grievance not presented and processed in the manner and within the time limits established herein shall be waived, and thereafter such a grievance may not be made the basis for any action, either under this Agreement or otherwise. Saturdays, Sundays and holidays shall be excluded in applying the time limits of this Article. The time limits set forth herein may be extended by mutual agreement of the Company and Union.
Processing Grievance. It is recognized and accepted by the Union and the Employer that the processing of grievances as hereinafter provided is limited by the job duties and responsibilities of the employees and shall therefore be accomplished during the normal working hours only when consistent with such employee duties and responsibilities. The aggrieved employee and a representative shall be allowed a reasonable amount of time without loss in pay when a grievance is investigated and presented to the Employer during normal working hours provided that the employee and the union representative have notified and received the approval of the designated department head/supervisor who has determined that such absence is reasonable and would not be detrimental to the work programs of the Employer, and provided further that the Employer shall be judge of what constitutes a “reasonable amount of time” as used in this Subsection 15.3.
Processing Grievance. It is recognized by the Union and by the Employer that the processing of grievances as hereinafter provided is limited by the job duties and responsibilities of the employees and shall, therefore, be accomplished during normal working hours without loss of pay when reasonable time away from duties and responsibilities are not detrimental to the work programs of the Employer.
