<br /> <br />• Upon request, an employee against whom disciplinary action <br />is taken shall be entitled to appear personally before the City <br />Administrator. All parties shall have the opportunity to present <br />their position. The City Administrator, following careful investi- <br />gation, shall have the authority to approve, disapprove, modify, <br />or rescind any disciplinary actions taken or proposed. <br />There shall be no right of appeal for probationary employees <br />except on the grounds of discrimination prohibited by law or these <br />rules. <br />Section 8. Grievance Procedures <br />Employees shall be encouraged to informally take any duty- <br />related complaints or problems to their immediate supervisors. <br />Following informal discussions an employee remaining dissatisfied <br />with a working condition, or some other aspect of employment not <br />subject to the appeal procedure, may submit a written grievance <br />to his or her immediate supervisor within 15 calendar days after <br />the cause of the grievance arises or becomes known. <br />It shall be the responsibility of the immediate supervisor <br />to study the grievance and attempt to resolve it within ten (10) <br />calendar days. Further discussion with the grievant shall be <br />• encouraged. If the grievance cannot satisfactorily be resolved <br />within 10 calendar days, the immediate supervisor shall refer it <br />with comments and/or recommendations to the next higher level of <br />supervision. The department head will be the last person in the <br />department to whom an unresolved issue will be taken. <br />If the matter is still unresolved, it shall be taken to the <br />City Administrator for disposition. <br />Any intimidation, coercion, or threatened reprisals used to <br />violate the intent of this procedure by any parties involved shall <br />constitute just cause for disciplinary action. <br /> <br />25 <br />
