MTSA has established a step-by-step grievance procedure to assure that any employee with a grievance has a mechanism to be heard. Most grievances can be resolved in an informal manner to ensure institutional harmony and a spirit of collegiality among faculty, students, supportive personnel, and administration. However, to be considered by a Grievance Committee, a grievance is defined as a claim of inappropriate or improper application of policy or practice.
The Director of Human Resources has the responsibility for coorÂdinating the grievance procedure and must be notified as soon as a formal complaint is initiated. If any employee believes that at any step of this procedure the response received is not fair and equitable or if management fails to respond, the employee may proceed to the next step in the grievance process. The steps for filing a grievance may be found in Administrative Manual.
