Employee Grievance Program
resolving differences in the workplace
The grievance program is available for resolving work-related matters arising from perceived unfair treatment in areas such as work assignments, promotions, transfers, discipline, or termination. Grievances must be filed within fifteen (15) calendar days of the alleged employment action.
Before filing a grievance, you are welcome to discuss the situation with one of our representatives and then based on the nature of the concern, we can assist you in determining whether to engage our Consultative services or initiate the Informal Grievance process. To initiate the informal grievance process you need to submit an Employee Internal Complaint Form and forward the form to Human Resources as indicated on the form.
FORMAL MEDIATION AND CONSULTING SERVICES
Offering informal mediation and consulting services to assist in understanding, addressing, and resolving workplace problems.
Mediation is an informal but structured process where people work together with the help of a mediator to prevent or resolve a misunderstanding or conflict. Human Resources provides mediation to help faculty and staff solve work-related problems.
Consultation is a confidential conversation, either by phone or in person, between a staff or faculty member and a mediator/consultant about how to handle a work-related concern.
