Reply to Grievance Clause Samples

The "Reply to Grievance" clause establishes the obligation for one party, typically an employer or management, to formally respond to a grievance raised by another party, such as an employee or union. This clause usually sets a specific timeframe within which the reply must be provided and may outline the required format or content of the response. By mandating a timely and structured reply, the clause ensures that grievances are addressed efficiently, promoting fair resolution and preventing unnecessary escalation of disputes.
Reply to Grievance. Within twenty-five (25) working days after receipt of a grievance, the Corporation shall reply in writing to the grievance and include its codification. The reply shall be sufficiently clear so as to determine the relationship between the collective agreement, the grievance and the decision. If the Corporation does not reply to the grievance within the prescribed time limit, the grievance may be referred to arbitration after the expiration of the time limit.
