[Ord. No. 320 §23.160, 8-9-1990]
A.
The
most effective accomplishment of the work of the City requires prompt
consideration and equitable adjustment of the employee grievances.
It is the desire of the City to adjust the causes of grievances informally,
and both supervisors and employees are expected to make every effort
to resolve problems as they arise.
1.
An employee may present his/her grievance or have an employee committee
selected by the employee present his/her grievance to his/her department
head or Mayor.
2.
All grievances shall be submitted in writing to the City Clerk who
shall forward a copy thereof to the employee's supervisor for action.
3.
If satisfaction is not achieved by the above procedure within ten
(10) working days, the grievance shall then be presented to the Mayor
for submission to the Board of Aldermen.
4.
The Mayor shall submit the grievance to the Board of Aldermen for
its consideration at its next regular meeting. The employee, the supervisor,
the department head and any other interested party shall have the
right to be heard. The Board of Aldermen shall then take appropriate
action which may include a recommendation to change the personnel
rules and regulations, a finding that the grievance is unjustified,
or any other appropriate recommendation.
5.
No employee shall be disciplined or discriminated against in any
way because of his/her proper use of the grievance procedure.
