GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

The policy of the College is to maintain an open door as an easy channel of communication for all District employees whereby they can promptly and efficiently resolve any grievances that may arise out of working conditions or job relations within the District. This channel of communication consists of the following steps:

1. The employee shall first submit his grievance to his supervisor, who in turn shall arrange for a prompt examination of the facts to reach a satisfactory adjustment. Every effort will be made at this level to effect an acceptable solution.

2. If the grievance is not adjusted in a manner satisfactory to the employee at "level 1" the employee shall request in writing on proper required form a meeting with the appropriate Vice-President, at which time the facts shall be reviewed and every effort made to effect an acceptable solution.

3. If the employee is still dissatisfied after meeting with the appropriate Vice-President, he may then request in writing on proper required form his grievance to the Personnel Office, at which time the facts shall be reviewed and every effort made to effect an acceptable solution.

4. If the employee is still dissatisfied after meeting with Dean, Administrative Services, he may then request in writing on proper required form his grievance to the President, at which time the facts shall be reviewed and every effort made to effect an acceptable solution.

5. If the employee is still dissatisfied after meeting with the President, he may then request in writing on proper required form his grievance to the Board of Trustees, at which time the facts shall be reviewed and every effort made to effect an acceptable solution. The decision of the Board of Trustees shall be final.
