Grievances
In-unit employees are encouraged to resolve their problems
informally whenever
possible, but within the 30-day time limit for filing
grievances. According to Article 20, Grievance Procedure and
Arbitration, UCF and the UFF "encourage open communications between
administrators and employees so that resort to the formal grievance
procedure will not normally be necessary. The parties further encourage the
informal resolution of grievances whenever possible. At each step in
the grievance process, participants are encouraged to pursue appropriate
modes of conflict resolution."
Grievances should provide explicit detail
about how the CBA was violated. Unless it is a disciplinary grievance,
Article 20.4 states: "the burden of proof shall be on the employee."
The forms necessary to complete when filing a grievance are below:
