Section 192-4-010 - Internal Complaint Procedure
Current through September 17, 2024
010.01. The applicable NAPE/AFSCME labor contract and Personnel Rules address in detail reasons for imposing disciplinary measures upon employees, types of disciplinary actions that may be imposed, and the processes for grieving such actions. Employees have the responsibility to acquaint themselves with those provisions.
010.02. NCBVi has established an internal complaint procedure to deal with issues that are not grievable and are not covered by the Workplace Harassment Policy. The internal complaint procedure is not intended to address any topic that may be the legitimate subject of a grievance. NCBVI will not process both a grievance and an internal complaint on the same issue at the same time.
010.03. All NCBVI employees are encouraged to bring concerns directly to his/her immediate supervisor for discussion and resolution. If the employee is not satisfied with a verbal response, the concern may be presented in writing to the supervisor within ten workdays of the event causing the concern. The supervisor will respond in writing within five workdays.
010.04. If the employee is not satisfied with his/her supervisor's response, the issue may be presented in writing to the Deputy Director, within five workdays of receiving the supervisor's response.
010.05. The Deputy Director shall respond in writing within ten workdays.
010.06. If the employee is not satisfied with the Deputy Director's response, the issue may be presented in writing to the Executive Director, within two workdays of receiving the Deputy Director's response. The Executive Director will respond in writing within 15 workdays. The Executive Director's decision is final.
010.07. Time frames may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties. Failure to meet the timelines by any member of management automatically allows the employee to go on to the next step. If the employee does not forward his/her concern within the specified time frame, the issue is considered resolved.
