GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
A. Definitions

Grievances shall be defined as follows:
      1. A "grievance" is a claim by an employee or the Association based upon the interpretation, application, or violation of this Agreement, policies or administrative decisions affecting the terms and conditions of employment of an employee, a group of employees or the Association.
      2. A grievance based upon the violation of the expressed, written terms of this contract, if not resolved, shall terminate in final and binding arbitration.
      3. A grievance based upon the interpretation, application or violation of board policies or administrative decision affecting the terms and conditions of employment, if not resolved at the Board level shall proceed to advisory arbitration. If the grievance is still not resolved either party may appeal to the administrative agency having jurisdiction in said matter.
      4. A grievance based upon the interpretation, application, or violation of terms and conditions of employment established by statute or administrative rules or regulations shall be processed through Level Four of this procedure and may be appealed only to the appropriate administrative agency having jurisdiction in said matters. Any disagreement with respect to the agency having proper jurisdiction for said matter shall be determined by the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC).
      5. A grievant is the person or persons making the claim or on whose behalf the Association is making the claim.
      6. Days when used herein shall mean days when schools are in session, unless said grievance is presented at such time as to carry over into the summer months. In such case the grievance shall be pursued to completion as expeditiously as possible.
B. Purpose
      1. The purpose of this procedure is to resolve disputes that arise involving the interpretation, application, or violation of this Agreement, policies or administrative decisions affecting the terms and conditions of employment of an employee, a group of employees, or the Association. Both parties agree that these proceedings will be kept as informal and confidential as may be appropriate at any level of the procedure.
      2. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting the right of any employee having a grievance to discuss the matter informally with any appropriate member of the administration, and having the grievance adjusted without intervention of the Association, provided the adjustment is not inconsistent with terms of this Agreement.
C. Procedure

1. Time Limits
          The number of days indicated at each level is a maximum and every effort should be made to expedite the process. The time limits specified may, however, be modified by mutual agreement.

3. Level One - Principal or Immediate Superior
          An employee with a grievance shall first discuss it with his principal or immediate superior, either directly or through the Association's designated representative, with the objective of resolving the matter informally.
4. Level Two - Principal
          If the grievance is not resolved informally to the satisfaction of the grievant, or if no response has been given by the principal or immediate superior within five (5) school days after the informal discussion, then the grievant shall file the grievance in writing with his principal or immediate supervisor within five (5) school days after the principal or immediate superior's response or ten (10) school days after the informal discussion, whichever is sooner.
5. Level Three - Superintendent
          If the aggrieved person is not satisfied with the disposition of his grievance at Level Two, or if no decision has been rendered within five (5) school days after the presentation of the grievance at Level Two, he may file the grievance in writing to the Superintendent within five (5) school days after the decision at Level Two or ten (10) school days after the grievance was presented, whichever is sooner.
6. Level Four - Board
          If the aggrieved person is not satisfied with the disposition of his grievance at Level Three, or if no decision has been rendered within ten (10) school days after the grievance was delivered to the Superintendent, he may, within five (5) school days after a decision by the Superintendent or fifteen (15) school days after the grievance was delivered to the Superintendent, whichever is sooner, file the grievance in writing to the Board of Education. The Board or a committee thereof shall review the grievance and may, at its discretion, hold a hearing with the employee and will render a decision in writing within thirty (30) school days of receipt of the grievance by the Board.
7. Level Five - Arbitration
          a. If the aggrieved person is not satisfied with the disposition of his grievance at Level Four, or if no decision has been rendered within thirty (30) school days after the grievance was delivered to the Board, he may, within five (5) school days after a decision by the Board or thirty-five (35) school days after the grievance was delivered to the Board, whichever is sooner, request in writing that the Association submit the grievance to arbitration. If the Association determines that the grievance is meritorious, it may submit the grievance to arbitration within five (5) school days after receipt of a request by the aggrieved person.
          b. Within ten (10) school days after such written notice of submission to arbitration, the Board and the Association shall attempt to agree upon a mutually acceptable arbitrator and shall obtain a commitment from said arbitrator or to obtain such a commitment within the specified period, a request for a list of arbitrators may be made to the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) by either party. The parties shall then be bound by the rules and procedures of the Public Employment Relations Commission.
          c. The arbitrator shall be limited to the issues submitted to him and shall not add to, subtract from, or modify the terms of the Agreement.
          d. Arbitration meetings will be held at times other than the regular school day.
          e. Each party shall pay its own costs for arbitration preparation. The parties shall share equally the fee and the expense of the arbitrator and arbitration proceedings.
D. Rights of Employees to Representation

1. Employee and Association
          Any aggrieved person may be represented at all stages of the grievance procedure by himself, or at his option by representative(s) selected or approved by the Association. When an employee is not represented by the Association, the Association shall have the right to be present and to state its views at all stages of the grievance procedure.
E. Miscellaneous

1. Group Grievance
          If, in the judgment of the Association, a grievance affects a group or class of employees, the Association may submit such grievance in writing to the Superintendent directly. The processing of such grievance shall be commenced at Level Three.
2. Meetings and Hearings
          All meetings and hearings under this procedure shall be conducted in private and shall include only such parties in interest and their designated or selected representatives.
3. Written Decision
          Decisions rendered at Levels Two, Three, and Four of this grievance procedure shall be in writing setting forth the decision and the reasons therefor and shall be transmitted promptly to all parties in interest and to the Association. Failure at any step of this procedure to communicate the decision on a grievance within the specified time limits shall permit the aggrieved employee to proceed to the next step.
4. Waiver of Grievance
          Failure at any step of this procedure to appeal a grievance to the next step within the specified time limits shall be deemed to be acceptance by the aggrieved of the decision rendered at that step.
5. Grieve-Work Rule
          It is understood that all employees, including the grievant, shall during and notwithstanding the pendency of any grievance, continue to observe all directives and assignments and applicable rules and regulations of the Board and its administrators until such grievance and any effect thereof shall have been fully resolved.

All unused sick days shall be cumulative.
2. Extended Absence Due to Illness
      N.J.S.A., 18A:30-1, et seq. and 30-6; 30-7, will govern all actions of the Board in matters of extended absences. When an absence due to illness extends beyond the accumulated sick leave, at its discretion, the Board of Education may pay the employee's full pay less the cost of a substitute for any length of time it determines, whether or not a substitute is employed.
3. Administration of Sick Leave Policy
      Records of accumulated sick leave will be maintained by the office of the superintendent and be available upon request by the employee or his designated representative.

      ARTICLE VII
MATERNITY/PATERNITY LEAVE OF ABSENCE

The Board of Education shall upon request grant maternity leave without pay to any pregnant employee. The leave shall be a maximum period of two (2) years unless extended by the Board. The Board of Education is not obligated to grant a leave beyond the school year for non-tenured employees.
Maternity leave shall be granted subject to the following conditions:
1. Notification of pregnancy must be made to the Board no later than the end of the fourth (4th) month; however, it is suggested that notification be made as soon as it is medically confirmed.
2. Where there exists a concern by the Superintendent of Schools, the employee shall furnish a certification from her physician that she is medically able to continue to work.
3. A statement from a physician certifying that the employee is physically able to return to duty shall be furnished to the Board before an employee is permitted to return from maternity leave.
4. Terminal dates for maternity leaves and reasonable requests for extensions or reductions in leave time may be granted so long as they do not substantially interfere with the administration of the school year. To preserve the continuity of instruction and minimize the disruption to students, the Board reserves the exclusive right to determine the return date from the child rearing portion of the maternity leave. Requests for a leave of absence beyond a school year shall be made no later than April 1. Failure to make a timely request may result in the denial of an extension of maternity leave.
5. Except as provided above, no employee shall be barred from returning to duty after the birth of her child solely on the ground that there has not been sufficient time lapse between the birth of her child and her desired date of return.
6. No employee on maternity leave shall, on the basis of said leave, be denied the opportunity to substitute on the provisions applied to a substitute teacher in the Allendale School District in the area of certification of competence.
7. Employees who become disabled as a result of their pregnancy are eligible to utilize accumulated sick leave. A statement from a physician confirming disability shall be furnished prior to a request for the use of disability leave before and/or after delivery. Emergency conditions beyond the control of the employee and acceptable to the Superintendent shall be granted.
      Any employee adopting a child shall upon request receive similar leave which shall commence upon receiving de facto custody of said child.

Application for said leave shall be made at least six (6) months in advance of leave date except in emergency situations beyond the control of the teacher.

An extended leave of absence for personal reasons shall be granted to teachers with ten (10) or more years of service in Allendale. Each teacher is entitled to one (1) such leave during his/her teaching career in Allendale. This leave shall be granted without pay.

Extended leave of absence shall be granted to employees in cases where home care is needed for a husband, wife, child, or parent and where a written physician's statement is provided affirming such need. A similar leave will be considered in home care cases for other close relatives.

The teacher's date of return to the classroom should take into account the continuity of effective teaching and the least amount of disruption to the students. The date of return shall not be approved by the Superintendent of Schools if it interferes with the continuity of instruction.

ARTICLE IX

ARTICLE XVI

REPRESENTATION FEE

The Board of Education recognizes that under New Jersey State Law the Allendale Education Association has the right to request a representation fee to be deducted from the salaries of all employees currently under contract who are not members of the Association. The purpose of this fee will be to adequately offset the per capita cost of services rendered by the Association as majority representative. Employees hired on a part time basis shall pay an amount proportionate to that fraction of said member's salary as based on the salary schedule.

Prior to the beginning of each membership year, the Association will notify the Board in writing of the amount of the regular membership dues, initiation fees and assessments charged by the Association to its own members for that membership year. The representation fee to be paid by nonmembers will be determined by the Association in accordance with the law.

The Board will deduct the representation fee in equal installments, as nearly as possible, from the paychecks paid to each employee on the aforementioned list of nonmembers during the remainder of the membership year. Deductions will begin with the first paycheck. The Association agrees to indemnify and hold the Board harmless against any liability which may arise by reason of any action taken by the Board in complying with the provisions of this Article, provided that:
      a. The Board will surrender to the Association full responsibility for the defense of such claim, demand, suit or other form of liability.
      b. The Board will provide the Association with timely written notice of any such claim, demand, suit or other form of liability and shall cooperate fully with the Association counsel in the preparation of its defense.
