GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE PURPOSE:
DEFINITION: B. A "non-contractural" grievance is a claimed violation,
mis- interpretation of misapplication of rules or regulations, existing
policies, administrative orders, or laws applicable to the Department of
Military and Veterans' Affairs affecting the terms and conditions of
employment which are not included in A above. C. Non-aligned employees (those not covered by a
bargaining unit agreement) may file a grievance when dissatisfied with
working conditions which are beyond his/her control but may be subject
to remedy within the Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs. The
grievance procedure will not be followed by these employees who have a
right of direct appeal to the Deparmtent of Personnel, such as in the
case of disciplinary action repre- senting a suspension of more than
five days; removal for employees with permanent status; in the case of
an unstatisfactory probation report. PROCEDURE: A. In the event a complaint is not satisfactorily resolved
on an informal basis between the employee and the immedicate super-
visor, a grievance can be considered to exist. The employee may submit a
grievance in writing on the Grievance Procedure Form to the Employee
Relations Officer within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the
incident or within fifteen (15) calendar days for non-aligned employees.
B. The Employee Relations Officer will convene a hearing
of the grievance at the earliest possible date and render a written
decision within specified time limits.
