Initiation and Processing of Grievances. Any employee believing he/she has cause for grievance may orally raise the grievance with his/her immediate supervisor when there is a reasonable belief that the ability to resolve the complaint is within the scope of the supervisor’s authority. The supervisor shall make a good faith effort to resolve such complaint within the scope of his/her authority. It is the intent of the parties to attempt to resolve problems before they become written grievances. All grievances shall be presented promptly, and filed in writing no later than 21 calendar days from the date the employee first became aware or, by the exercise of reasonable diligence, should have become aware of the cause of such grievance. The date on which a counseling, reprimand, less than satisfactory rating or notice of suspension or discharge is given or mailed to the employee shall be considered the first day of the 21-day time frame.
