Grievance Policy

3.11 Grievance Policy

The library board of trustees will strive to make equitable adjustments of employee grievances. It is the desire of the library board of trustees to adjust the causes of grievances informally, and both supervisors and employees are expected to make every effort to resolve problems as they arise.

An employee is expected to present his/her grievance in writing in the following order:

a) To his/her supervisor

b) To the director

Director, supervisor, and aggrieved staff member shall make an effort to resolve grievances.

The director is then obligated to present the written grievance to the trustees at the next meeting of the library board.

After a reasonable time, should the situation not be corrected to the employee’s satisfaction, he/she may submit the grievance in writing to the library board.

No employee shall be disciplined or discriminated against in any way because of the proper use of the grievance procedure.
