Grievance Process (Informal):

  1. Where possible, it is expected that a grievant's first attempt is to resolve his/her complaint informally through direct conversation with the other party.
  2. If the grievant cannot obtain satisfactory results from such a conference, he/she should then discuss the complaint with the appropriate supervisor. The supervisor is expected to investigate the complaint(s) and try to achieve a resolution.
  3. If the grievant is dissatisfied with these results, he/she may then discuss the complaint with the appropriate vice president. The vice president's decision is final for the informal process. If the grievant is dissatisfied with the outcome, he/she may then proceed to the formal grievance process.
