Grievance Steps. Step One (1) - Filing the Grievance with the Agency Director or Designee If an employee or the Union believes that he/she has been assigned duties not within his/her current classification, the employee or the Union may file a grievance with the Agency Director or designee. The Agency Director or designee shall investigate and issue a decision after review and approval by the Office of Collective Bargaining, within thirty-five (35) calendar days. A copy of the Director’s or designee’s decision and a legible copy of the grievance form shall be provided to the grievant and OCSEA Central Office. If the parties mutually agree, a meeting to attempt to resolve the grievance may be held at the grievant’s work site prior to the issuance of the decision of the Director or designee. A request by the Office of Collective Bargaining to discuss the resolution of the grievance shall not extend the twenty (20) day period within which the Union has a right to appeal the matter to arbitration under Step Two (2). If the Director or designee determines that the employee is performing duties which meet the classification concept and which constitute a substantial portion of the duties (i.e., twenty percent (20%) or more of the employee’s time if to a higher classification or eighty percent (80%) of the employee’s time if to a lower classification) specified in another classification specification, the Director shall order the immediate discontinuance of the inappropriate duties being performed by the employee, unless the parties agree to the reclassification of the person and position pursuant to the provisions of this Article. If the duties are determined to be those contained in a classification with a lower pay range than the employee’s current classification, no monetary award will be issued. If the duties are determined to be those contained in a classification with a higher pay range than that of the employee’s current classification, the Director or designee shall issue an award of monetary relief, provided that the employee has performed the duties as previously specified for a period of four (4) or more working days. The amount of the monetary award shall be the difference between the employee’s regular hourly rate of pay, and the hourly rate of pay at the applicable step of the higher pay range for the new classification. The applicable step shall be the step in the higher pay range which is approximately four percent (4%) higher than the current step rate of the em...

Grievance Steps. 35 36 Informal Level 37 38 Before filing a formal written grievance, the grievant shall attempt 39 to resolve the alleged grievance through an informal conference with the 40 xxxxxxxx's immediate supervisor. 41 43 44 1 Step 1 3 No later than twenty (20) days following the act or omission giving 4 rise to the grievance or no later than twenty (20) days following the date 5 upon which the Member reasonably should have known of the act or 6 omission, the grievant must present such grievance in writing to the 7 immediate supervisor. 9 The written grievance shall contain a statement of the grievance, 10 the provision(s) of the Agreement allegedly involved, and the remedy 11 sought. 13 The immediate supervisor shall communicate a written decision to 14 the Member within ten (10) days after receiving the grievance. Such 15 written decision shall contain an explanation of the decision rendered. 17 Within the above time limits, either party may request a personal 18 conference with the other party. 20 If the grievant is not satisfied with the disposition of the grievance at 21 this step, an appeal to the next step must be made in writing to the 22 appropriate personnel within ten (10) days after the decision is delivered 23 to the grievant. Failure to appeal within this time period shall serve as a 24 waiver of all appeal rights and the decision at this step shall be final and 25 binding. 27 Step 2 28 29 The Superintendent, or his/her designee, shall consider the 30 grievance, render a decision within ten (10) days after receiving the 31 grievance, communicate a decision to the grievant in writing, and 32 provide a copy of the decision to the Association. This shall not preclude 33 the Superintendent, or his/her designee, from meeting and discussing the 34 results with the grievant, but doing so does not mitigate the requirement 35 of placing the decision in writing and providing copies as stated above. 37 Such written decision shall contain an explanation of the District's 38 position regarding the grievance. Either the grievant or the 39 Superintendent, or his/her designee, may request a personal conference 40 to discuss the grievance within the above time limits. If the 41 Superintendent, or his/her designee, does not respond within the above 42 time limits, the grievance shall automatically proceed to the next step.
Grievance Steps. A grievance shall be processed in the following manner:
Grievance Steps. Grievances shall be handled in the following manner: Step One: The grievant, advocate and/or Union staff representative shall present a grievance orally to the grievant’s immediate supervisor within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of the occurrence of the facts or from the date the alleged violation first became known, whichever is later. The supervisor shall respond in writing to the grievance within ten (10) calendar days of the presentation to agree to resolve the grievance or to deny the grievance. The supervisor’s response shall be addressed to both the grievant and the Union. Should the supervisor fail to respond within this time frame, the Union shall have the right to forward the grievance to the next step. Step Two: If no resolution or settlement is reached between the grievant and the supervisor, the grievant or the Union may file a written appeal of the supervisor’s decision rendered in Step One to the appropriate Program Director or his/her designated representative. The grievant or Union shall file this written grievance within fifteen (15) calendar days after his/her receipt of the supervisor’s decision from Step One. A meeting with the appropriate Program Director or his/her representative, the grievant and the advocate or Union staff representative shall be held not later than ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the written grievance. The appropriate Program Director’s response shall be addressed to the grievant and the Union. The appropriate Program Director’s response shall be final and binding on the employee, the Union, and the Employer unless it is timely appealed to arbitration by the Union in accordance with this Article. Grievances concerning discharge or discrimination, or grievances filed by the Union shall be filed initially at Step Two. Group grievances claiming the same alleged conduct involving employees who work under more than one supervisor may be filed initially at Step Two. Multiple individual grievances alleging the same violation that are filed during the same time frame may be combined into a group grievance and commenced at Step Two.
Grievance Steps. Grievances may be processed as hereinafter provided.
Grievance Steps. All grievances shall be administered in accordance with the following steps of the Grievance Procedure.
Grievance Steps. Step 1. The employee shall first discuss the grievance with his/her immediate supervisor.

See Appendix B.
