Employee Relations offers consultation, facilitation and resolution strategies for workplace issues. Employee Relations assists in communications between employees and supervisors, corrective action and planning, disciplinary actions, and explanation and clarification of University policies and procedures. The Employee Relations team can be reached at 540-831-7286.
Before filing a formal grievance, employees and management are encouraged to resolve concerns informally through discussion or through the use of mediation and conflict resolution. If those steps are not successful, there are formal processes available. A grievance is a formal complaint about a workplace issue that has a direct adverse impact on employees. The goal of a grievance is to raise the issue or concern to the attention of the appropriate level of management so the issue can be addressed. The state grievance process is available to all classified employees that have successfully completed their probationary period. The grievance process involves review of the complaint by up to three respondents within the employee’s management chain.
A grievance can have up to four phases: (1) the management resolution steps; (2) qualification for hearing; (3) hearing; and (4) review of the hearing decision. Not all grievances are qualified for hearing. For example, under the grievance statues, grievances that relate solely to layoffs, transfers, assignments, or the content of personnel policies, cannot proceed on to a hearing. On the other hand, some issues are automatically qualified for hearing, such as formal discipline or dismissal for unsatisfactory performance. Attorneys serving as Administrative Hearing Officers conduct hearings in qualifying grievances.
This formal process is outlined in the Grievance Procedure Manual. Failure to follow these strict procedures will forfeit your right to this process. The Office of Employment Dispute Resolution website provides additional information regarding the Grievance Procedure. If you have questions or need assistance, contact Jenene Lewis in the Employee Relations office at 540-831-7286 or hjlewis@radford.edu.
