Pre-Grievance Sample Clauses
The Pre-Grievance clause establishes a preliminary process for addressing disputes or concerns before they escalate to formal grievance procedures. Typically, this involves requiring the parties to communicate their issues informally, such as through meetings or written notifications, and attempt to resolve the matter collaboratively within a specified timeframe. By encouraging early dialogue and resolution, this clause helps prevent misunderstandings from developing into larger conflicts and reduces the need for more formal, time-consuming, or costly dispute resolution mechanisms.
