Step II – Immediate Supervisor Sample Clauses
The "Step II – Immediate Supervisor" clause establishes a formal process for addressing grievances or disputes by requiring that issues first be presented to the employee's immediate supervisor. Typically, this step involves the employee or their representative submitting a written or verbal complaint to the supervisor within a specified timeframe, who then reviews the matter and provides a response or resolution attempt. This clause ensures that problems are addressed at the lowest possible management level, promoting efficient resolution and potentially preventing escalation to higher authorities or more formal proceedings.
Step II – Immediate Supervisor. If the grievance is not settled informally, a written statement of the grievance shall be presented to the immediate supervisor within twenty (20) workdays after the occurrence of the grievance or the date and time such events should have been known. The immediate supervisor shall answer the grievance in writing within seven (7) workdays of receiving the grievance and shall concurrently send a copy of the grievance, with her/his decision to the grievant(s), Association Representative, and the Superintendent or designee. The immediate supervisor’s answer shall include the reasons upon which the decision was based. If the grievance is denied, the employee(s), with or without the assistance of the Association, may pursue the matter further by moving to Step III.
Step II – Immediate Supervisor. If a grievance is not settled at the Informal Step I, the grievant shall reduce the grievance to writing.

The immediate supervisor shall reply in writing within ten (10) days after the receipt of the written grievance. All official replies and any appeals should be attached to the original grievance.
