Any employee who believes that he/she has received inequitable
treatment because of some condition of his/her employment may appeal
for relief from that condition. An employee must discuss the grievance
initially with his/her direct supervisor. Then, if the matter is not
settled, the employee should submit said grievance in writing to the
department head. The department head shall respond in writing, within
14 calendar days. If the employee's department head is also the
immediate supervisor, he/she should proceed to Step 2.
If the employee feels that his/her grievance is still unresolved,
he/she may appeal to the Personnel Board within 14 calendar days after
receiving the decision of the department head. The Personnel Board
may require a written statement from the aggrieved employee in such
form and containing such information as it may require. The Personnel
Board shall hear the grievance at its next regularly scheduled meeting
and shall render a decision within 14 calendar days of the hearing.
Any decision of the Personnel Board shall be transmitted to the department
head/appointing authority and placed in the employee's personnel
file.
