There will be occasions when town employees do not agree with the interpretation of facts surrounding an incident, the severity of a disciplinary action, or the denial of benefits (including salary increases) which the employee feels he or she has deserved, and therefore, the town encourages use of the informal and formal grievance procedures. These grievance procedures are to be initiated by the employee. Any employee should always feel he or she can point out a problem or make a complaint to his or her supervisor without fear of retaliation.
