(A) It is the intent of this section to provide for the reasonable settlement of certain disputes between an employee and the county. All employees and supervisory personnel should, however, make every possible effort to settle differences without utilizing of the procedures contained in this section.
(B) Any county employee that has completed an orientation period may file a grievance as defined and deemed permissible in this chapter.
(C) No prejudicial, discriminatory or retaliatory action may be taken, at any time, by the county against any person for his or her participation in or statements made in the investigation or settlement of a grievance. This is in no way meant to limit the right of the county to take appropriate disciplinary measures for an employee who has provided false statements or accusations.
