What is a Grievance?

Employees can grieve agency actions pursuant to GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES. Employees have fifteen (15) days from discovery of the contested decision or action to file a written grievance with the first-step steward. Discovery means when the employee learned or reasonably can be expected to have learned of the decision or action.

There are numerous matters that are not grievable under policy. Although employees cannot grieve policies the application of any policy to an individual may be grieved.
