E. Grievance Committee Structure<br />

1. Anyone eligible to file a grievance through this process is eligible to<br />

participate in the election of members and to serve on the Grievance<br />

Committee.<br />

2. The Committee consists of five members, two of whom are employed in<br />

supervisory capacities. Once each year, each exempt and non-exempt staff<br />

member will be provided the opportunity to vote. Each staff group elects two<br />

regular members to serve a one-year term on the Grievance Committee. Two<br />

alternate members will also be elected to serve if a regular member leaves<br />

the employ of the <strong>University</strong> during the year or is otherwise unable to serve<br />

on a particular grievance. The Chairperson of the Grievance Committee is<br />

designated by the President. If the regularly appointed Chairperson is a party<br />

to a grievance, the President shall appoint another Chairperson. If during his/<br />

her term, a Committee member leaves the employ of the <strong>University</strong> or is<br />

no longer a member of the group he/she was elected from, and an alternate<br />

is not available, the President or his/her designee will appoint a temporary<br />

replacement from the employee group of the regular member.<br />

3. If an elected member of the Committee is a party to a grievance, has any<br />

reason to believe that he/she cannot be completely objective in considering a<br />

grievance, or wishes to be excused from the deliberations about a particular<br />

grievance, he/she will temporarily disqualify herself/himself. The President<br />

or his/her designee will appoint a temporary replacement from the employee<br />

group of the disqualified member.<br />

4. The Office of Human Resource Services is responsible for scheduling and<br />

conducting elections of the members of the Grievance Committee, arranging<br />

for grievance hearings, assisting with the hearing and notification process,<br />

and ensuring the integrity of the Grievance Procedure.<br />

Employment Separations<br />

All Separations from Active <strong>University</strong> Employment<br />

The <strong>University</strong> recognizes that an employee may separate from active <strong>University</strong><br />

employment for a variety of reasons which may be broadly categorized as either<br />

voluntary or involuntary in nature.<br />

Return of <strong>University</strong> Property<br />

An employee who separates from active <strong>University</strong> employment shall return all <strong>University</strong><br />

owned equipment and/or property charged to him/her before he/she shall be issued his/<br />

her final check. Such equipment or property may include, but shall not be limited to the<br />

following: uniforms, locker keys, ID badges and/or cards, laptops, cell phones, credit<br />

cards, office keys and materials, supplies or equipment issued or loaned to the employee.<br />

The following are the steps required to complete the employee separation process:<br />

1. A department head shall notify an employee who is separating from active<br />

<strong>University</strong> employment that he/she must return all <strong>University</strong> owned equipment<br />

and/or property charged to him/her before he/she may receive his/her final check.<br />
