The written grievance shall state the relevant facts and cite the provision or provisions allegedly violated, along with the specific relief requested. The department head shall give his or her written answer within ten work days after receipt of written grievance. If the grievance is against the office holder, it shall be submitted to the Finance Committee. The Finance Committee shall address the grievance within five working days after it is received.
(B) Step 2. If the grievance is not settled at Step 1 and the grievant wishes to appeal the grievance to Step 2, it shall be referred in writing to the Finance Committee within five work days after receipt of the written answer at Step 1 and shall be signed by the grievant. The Finance Committee shall give a written answer within ten work days after submission of the grievance at Step 2.
