Challenges and Appeals Clause Samples

The "Challenges and Appeals" clause establishes the procedures by which parties can formally contest decisions or actions taken under the agreement. Typically, this clause outlines the steps for submitting a challenge, the timeframe for doing so, and the process for appealing an initial decision, such as escalating the matter to a higher authority or an independent panel. Its core function is to provide a clear and fair mechanism for resolving disputes or disagreements, ensuring that parties have recourse if they believe a decision was incorrect or unjust.
Challenges and Appeals. Test scores shall be posted within 14 days of receipt from the testing service. Examination participants may file a challenge or appeal with the Civil Service Commission to any question, portion of the testing process, incorrect scoring, or unfairly phrased question within ten days of when the Commission posts the scores of the promotional examination in accordance with Civil Service Commission rules. A copy of such challenge or appeal shall be provided to the Director of Human Resources. Failure to timely file such a challenge with the Commission and Director of Human Resources waives any right by the member to challenge the results of the promotional examination. The Commission shall act on the appeal or challenge in accordance with its existing rules and regulations within 45 days of receipt. Final grades are to be posted within ten (10) days after completion of the appeal process. Should the Commission fail to resolve all pending challenges and the employee may appeal the decision thru legal means outside of the City of Newark and FOP Lodge 127 Bargaining Unit Agreement. All deadlines may be extended with the express written permission of the FOP/OLC and with the understanding that no subsequent back pay award may include any period of time covered by this Article or extension to the deadlines in this Article.
