Common use of Obtain Permission Clause in Contracts

Obtain Permission. To obtain permission to investigate a grievance during on-duty time, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall advise the supervisor of the grievant of his/her investigation of the facts and the general nature of the grievance. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is permitted to discuss the problem with all employees immediately concerned, and if appropriate, to attempt to achieve settlement with the supervisory personnel involved. Agencies, wards, clients, detainees, and outside interested parties will not be contacted by stewards as a part of the grievance process. The employee may be represented by a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ at such time as a grievance is reduced to writing. If, in the judgment of the supervisor, because of the necessity of maintaining adequate levels of service, permission cannot be granted immediately to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in order to present or investigate a grievance during on-duty time, such permission shall be granted by the supervisor no later than the next working day from the date the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ was denied permission. To obtain permission to meet with a new employee under the provision in subsection 5.E.1., the Union ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or Union staff representative shall submit a request for release time to conduct the meeting at a specific date and time to the Departmental Human Resources Representative, at least two working days prior to the Union’s requested date and time for the meeting. The Department shall coordinate with the appropriate supervisors of the Union ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the new employee(s) to schedule the meeting as requested subject to non-interference with business needs. The Union’s requested time shall not be unreasonably denied. In the event the Union’s staff representative also attends the meeting, the Union’s staff representative shall notify the Departmental Human Resources Officers at least two working days prior to the meeting so that the Department can designate a separate space where the meeting shall be held.
