The purpose of the grievance procedure is to provide a fair and impartial process where employees may voice complaints concerning issues related to their employment with the County. The objective is to improve employee-management relations through a prompt and fair method of resolving problems. This Grievance Reference chart illustrates the steps of the grievance process before an employee files a Petition on Appeal.  The Department of Human Resources can provide assistances as well. Once an employee has completed the steps in the grievance process and the County Executive has ruled the complaint is grievable, then the employee files a Petition on Appeal (POA) with the Civil Service Commission. Upon receipt of the POS, this Reference chart shows the process from the pre-hearing conference up to the hearing.
 
All Merit employees who have completed their initial probationary period are covered by the grievance procedure. The county's grievance policy is outlined in Chapter 17 of The Personnel Regulations (found here).
