WITNESSETH, that WHEREAS, a majority of the teaching staff and the Athletic Trainer of the Wallkill Regional School System have designated the Wallkill Valley Education Association as their representative for the purpose of collective negotiation in accordance with and pursuant to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 14:13A5.3, and
WHEREAS, the Association and Board have reached certain understandings which they desire to confirm to this Agreement pursuant to Chapter 123, Public Laws of 1974, as amended:
IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
-1-
ARTICLE I - GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
A. Definition
A “grievance” is a claim by an employee based upon the interpretation, application or violation of this Agreement, policies or administrative decisions affecting the terms and conditions of his/her employment. The Association may process such a grievance if the grievant does not wish to do so.
To be considered under this procedure, a grievance must be initiated by the grievant within twenty (20) contractual working days of the time the grievant knew or should have known of its occurrence.
B. Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to secure, at the lowest possible level, equitable solutions to the problems which may from time to time arise affecting employees. Both parties agree that these proceedings will be kept as informal and confidential as may be appropriate at any level of the procedure.
C. Procedure
1. 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. 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 of the decision rendered
at that step.
2. The number of days indicated at each level should be considered as a maximum and every effort should be made to expedite the process. The time limits specified may,
however, be extended by mutual agreement.
3. It is understood that the aggrieved employee shall, during and notwithstanding the
pendency of any grievance, continue to observe any assignments and applicable rules
and regulations of the Board until such grievance and any effect thereof shall have
been fully determined.
4. Level One - Any employee who has a grievance shall discuss it first with his/her
immediate supervisor in an attempt to resolve this matter informally at that level.
-2-
5. Level Two - If, as a result of the discussion, the matter is not resolved to the
satisfaction of the employee within five (5) school days, he/she shall set forth
his/her grievance, in writing, to a vice principal within five (5) school days
specifying:
a. the nature of the grievance and the provision or provisions of the Agreement
alleged to be violated;
b. the nature and extent of the loss, injury or detriment;
c. the results of previous discussion; and
d. his/her dissatisfaction with decisions previously rendered and the relief and/or
adjustment sought.
A vice principal shall communicate his/her decision to the employee, in writing, within
ten (10) school days of receipt of the written grievance.
6. Level Three - The employee, no later than five (5) school days after receipt of the decision in Level Two, may appeal the decision to the Superintendent/Principal who shall
communicate, in writing, to the employee within ten (10) school days.
7. Level Four - If the grievance is not resolved, the employee may, within five (5) days,
appeal his/her grievance, in writing, to the Board of Education through the
Superintendent/Principal, who shall attach all related papers and forward the appeal
to the Board. The Board, or a committee thereof, shall review the grievance and shall
hold a hearing with the employee. The Board shall render a decision, in writing, within
thirty (30) school days of receipt of the written grievance.
8. If the decision of the Board does not resolve the grievance to the grievant’s
satisfaction and the Association wishes review by the third party, it shall so notify the
Board, in writing, within ten (10) school days of receipt of the Board’s decision.
Grievances concerning, (a) a complaint by an employee which arises by reason of his/her
not being re-employed; (b) a complaint by an employee occasioned by the withholding of
a salary increase or increment; (c) any matter which according to law is either beyond the
scope of Board authority or limited to action by the Board alone; and (d) any matter for
which a method for review is prescribed by law or any rule or regulation of the State
Commissior of Education such as, but not limited to, questions of increment denial or
suspension, shall not be subject to arbitration.
-3-
9. Within ten (10) school days after receipt of the request for arbitration, the Board
and the Association shall attempt to agree upon a mutually acceptable arbitrator.
If the parties are unable to agree, a request for a list of arbitrators shall be made
jointly to the P.E.R.C. The parties shall then be bound by the rules and procedures
of the P.E.R.C. in the selection of an arbitrator.
10. The arbitrator shall limit him/herself to the issues submitted to him/her and shall
not add to nor subtract anything from the Agreement between the parties. The
Arbitrator’s decision shall be binding only to the extent required by law. The
parties shall be responsible for all costs incurred by each and only the fees and
expenses, if any, of the arbitrator shall be shared by each party paying one-half.
D. Miscellaneous
1. Any aggrieved person may be represented at all stages of the
grievance procedure by him/herself or, at his/her option, by a
representative selected or approved by the Association.
