Advance Grievance Step Filing Sample Clauses

The Advance Grievance Step Filing clause establishes a process that allows parties to initiate a grievance at a higher step in the grievance procedure, bypassing initial steps under certain circumstances. Typically, this clause applies when the issue involves higher-level management decisions or when both parties agree that starting at a later stage is more efficient.
