A grievance may be filed by an employee for the following reasons: A written warning, suspension, dismissal or an involuntary reduction in pay, rank or status. For purposes of this chapter, position classifications, reductions in force, failure to receive a performance increase, nonadoption of suggestions and similar matters within the sole discretion of management are not normally reviewable by a grievance proceeding. The county will provide a procedure for presentation and settlement of grievances for all employees and former employees except when preempted by the State Personnel Act. The County Manager shall establish rules and procedures governing filing, processing and reviewing of employee grievances and shall institute specific procedures to resolve disputes involving allegations of unlawful employment discrimination.
