GRIEVANCE
PROCESS Grievance
Process - The
general policy regarding a grievance is to grant an opportunity to address
an issue one level above the person whose action is being contested. The
process may vary depending upon the area of concern but will generally
involve several possible steps. The procedure utilized shall provide for a
prompt and fair consideration of the complaint. If extenuating
circumstances prevent either party from meeting the time frame stipulated,
all parties involved will confer and agree on an alternate schedule.
Proceedings are not judicial trials and formal rules of evidence shall not
apply, but evidence submitted must be material and relevant to the issue
under consideration. Any person who brings a grievance has the burden of
proof and must provide documentation and evidence to support the
allegation.
