Relations or Designee Clause Samples

The "Relations or Designee" clause defines who is authorized to act on behalf of a party in relation to the agreement, typically allowing a party to appoint another individual or entity (a designee) to perform certain duties or receive certain rights. In practice, this clause may specify that notices, approvals, or other communications can be directed to a named representative or their chosen substitute, ensuring that responsibilities and permissions are clearly delegated. Its core function is to provide flexibility and clarity in the administration of the contract by formally recognizing the authority of designated individuals or entities to act in specified capacities.
Relations or Designee. The parties acknowledge that orderly administration of the contract grievance procedure requires the Director of the Office of Labor Relations to play an active role in the contract grievance procedure. Accordingly, no grievance shall be deemed ripe for submission to arbitration unless and until the Director of the Office of Labor Relations or designee has had an opportunity to resolve the grievance. An unresolved grievance may be appealed to said Director within seven (7) days of the date of the Step II response, or, in the case of a grievance ripe for submission directly to Step III, within the period specified in Section 5. Said Director or his/her designated representative shall hold a conference within thirty (30) days of receipt of the grievance and issue a written response within fifteen (15) days of the conference.
