A full-time, non-seasonal, non-temporary employee, who is not covered by any bargaining
agreement or who is not eligible for an appeals procedure under the City Charter,
who is by definition an at-will employee, may grieve his/her suspension, demotion,
or non-probationary termination to the salary committee of the city council. Any grievance
is to be placed in writing, on forms provided by the city, and signed by the aggrieved
employee. The grievance shall be submitted by the employee within five (5) working
days of the suspension, demotion or termination to the city clerk, who shall immediately
forward a copy to the salary committee. Within ten (10) working days after the salary
committee's receipt of the grievance, the salary committee shall meet with the aggrieved
employee. During the meeting, the aggrieved employee will be provided a reasonable
opportunity to provide relevant information in support of the grievance. The salary
committee shall have the power to uphold or deny the grievance and/or reduce the level
of discipline, and shall do so after consideration of the grievance. The salary committee's
powers shall be limited to make whole remedies such as reinstatement to employment
or to the position held prior to demotion, and/or back pay. The decision of the salary
committee shall be rendered within ten (10) working days of the meeting and shall
be the final determination by the city. This appeals process to grieve a suspension,
demotion or termination shall not have the cause or effect of altering the at-will
status of the grieving employee.
