Dealing with disputes. Disputes concerning interpretation or application must first be referred to ne- gotiations between the local parties (local negotiations). Should the local parties fail to come to an agreement, the dispute should be referred at the request of either party to central negotiations. A dispute may be referred by either party to the Working hours board for final decision within two months of the completion of central negotiations. The de- cision of the board is binding on the parties. Otherwise, the negotiating procedure of the main agreement applies.
Dealing with disputes. The national agreement and these authority guidelines are intended to meet the needs of the whole staff, departments and individual teachers, at all levels. Where disputes occur, the issues should be discussed initially with the line manager (if it is an individual issue) and with the Head Teacher in the case of a collective matter. Matters raised, whether individual or collective, should normally be responded to within 10 working days by the line manager, Head Teacher or school committee, as appropriate. An individual will have the right to be supported by a school representative or colleague in discussions of any difficulties. It is hoped that most concerns will be resolved through this in-house process. In disposing of the grievance the Head Teacher should take account of the school’s working time agreement. Where an individual raises concerns regarding the establishment’s proposed working time agreement, there should be an attempt to resolve the matter through the school’s 35 Hour Working Week and CPD Negotiating Committee to effect an informal resolution. However, in the last resort the individual has the right to pursue the grievance procedure. Where there is a failure of collective bargaining, in other words a failure to agree a working time agreement in a school, the MNCT, informally through the MNCT Joint Secretaries or, formally, through the MNCT, will find a resolution. Any matter that is referred to the Joint Secretaries for informal resolution should normally be responded to within 10 working days. Where the matter is referred to the MNCT formally this will be dealt with as quickly as possible, and within 15 working days.
