The College expects administrators to act collaboratively and respectfully in advancing the mission of the College. It encourages employees to resolve differences at the lowest possible level.
When differences cannot be resolved between employees or when a dispute between an administrative employee and the College arises, the College provides the grievance procedure set forth below and detailed in the Employee Handbook.
This procedure is applicable to any grievance by any administrative employee of the College. A "grievance" is any dispute arising from employment or termination of employment. It includes, but is not limited to, any dispute arising under this policy manual and any dispute involving alleged discrimination or harassment.
It is the responsibility of the employee to initiate the grievance procedure in writing to the Human Resources department within five (5) working days of the incident. A Human Resources representative is available to assist employees throughout this process as requested. The Human Resources Department cannot resolve disputes but can provide guidance, explain policies, and assist in the processing of the grievance procedure.
