GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
A. Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to reduce employer-employee conflict, and to secure, at the lowest possible administrative level, equitable solutions to the problems which may arise concerning the terms and conditions of a unit member's employment. Every effort shall be made to settle the grievance with the employee's immediate supervisor. All grievances shall be given prompt attention and consideration. Ample opportunity for discussion shall be allowed at all administrative levels.
B. Definitions
1. "Grievance", as used herein, shall mean a claim by an employee that there has been an improper or unjust administrative decision, application, interpretation, or violation of a policy or agreement, including the application or interpretation of the terms of this Agreement, affecting the terms and conditions of employment. Such claim must be filed within 30 days of the alleged incident.
2. "Employee" shall mean any person employed in the categories listed in the Recognition clause, but excluding all those listed as being excluded from the bargaining unit.
3. "Day" means calendar day.
4. If a person is not directly responsible to a Principal, the term "Principal" will be taken to mean "immediate supervisor".
C. Grievance Procedure
1. An aggrieved employee shall verbally notify his immediate supervisor. They shall discuss the problem in good faith with the object of resolving the matter informally.
2. If an agreeable solution is not forthcoming, the aggrieved employee may submit a written grievance to the immediate supervisor. The immediate supervisor shall offer a written response within five days.
3. If the employee is still aggrieved, he may, within five days of receipt of response, or in the absence of a response, within ten days from the date of submission of written grievance to the immediate supervisor, whichever is sooner, submit the written grievance, along with the immediate supervisor's response, to the Superintendent of Schools. The Superintendent shall, within ten days, conduct discussions with the parties concerned and shall recommend a settlement in writing.
4. If the employee finds the Superintendent's recommendation to be unsatisfactory, the grievance can, within five days of receipt of response, or in the absence of a recommendation, within 15 days from the date of submission of written grievance to the Superintendent, whichever is sooner, be submitted to the Morris Board in writing. The
Morris Board shall, within 30 days, conduct discussions with all parties concerned and submit a written decision.
5. Except where grievance involves negotiated terms or conditions of employment forming part of this Collective Bargaining Agreement, and in regard to which all details are set forth in full herein, the written decision of the Morris Board shall in any event be final and binding for all concerned, and shall not be subject to the arbitration procedure set forth below where the grievance involves:
a. The failure or refusal of the Board to renew a contract of a non-tenured teacher.
b. Matters where a specific method of review is prescribed by statute, or by any rule or regulation of the State Commissioner of Education or State Board of Education, including, but not by way of limitation, the right to a review and a hearing under the Tenured Employee Hearing Law (N.J.S.A. 18A:6-10, et seq.) and the right to review pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:9-14 in cases involving the withholding of increments.
c. Matters where the Board is without authority to act.
d. Reduction in the number of persons holding particular offices, positions, or employment with the Board.
e. Transfer of a teacher from one school to another, one grade to another, or one position to another.
f. Fulfillment of vacancies occurring in offices, positions, or employments with the Board.
- Those matters negotiated and reduced to writing as part of this Agreement, and with respect to which the Board is expressly vested with unrestricted authority to make the final decision.
- Past Practice Clause:
Unless specifically provided in this contract, all terms and conditions of employment in effect prior to the effective date of this agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be eliminated or reduced unless they fail to meet the following criteria:
a. Clarity: the existence of the practice can be proven
b. Longevity: the practice must be long-standing
c. Consistency: the same circumstances occur regularly, not randomly
d. Repetition: occurs frequently
e. Mutuality and acceptability: both parties know and accept the practice
7. If the grievance involves the interpretation and application of any term or condition of employment which has been negotiated and in regard to which all details are set forth in full in the Agreement (excluding, therefore, all items listed above as possible subjects for review by the Advisory Board of Administrative Procedures, as well as all policies not set forth in full above but adopted by reference), and provided the grievance does not involve any matter described in Section C.5 above, if the aggrieved party is dissatisfied with the written determination of the Board, he may, within five days of receipt of such determination, request in writing that the Association's Executive Committee pursue an impartial settlement by arbitration.
8. If the Association's Executive Committee finds the grievance to be worthy of further consideration, it will, within five days, so notify the Board. Whereupon the Association may petition the American Arbitration Association for the appointment of an arbitrator in accordance with the rules and regulations of said Association. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all parties insofar as it is consistent with prevailing law. Costs of arbitration shall be borne by the Board and the Association.
D. General Provisions
1. Nothing in this procedure will abridge the right of an employee or school official to attempt to resolve a grievance directly and informally.
2. All deadlines provided in this procedure may be extended by mutual written agreement only.
3. The aggrieved party and/or his representative shall have the right to be present at all discussions conducted at any step of the procedure.
4. Any party of interest may be accompanied or represented at all stages of this grievance procedure by a person of his own choosing. The grievant must be present at all steps of the grievance process.
5. In the event a grievance is filed at such time that it cannot be processed through all the steps in this grievance procedure by the end of the school year, the time limits set forth herein shall be reduced so that the grievance procedure may be exhausted prior to the end of the school year or as soon thereafter as is practicable.
6. The parties involved in a grievance procedure may mutually waive, in writing, any step of this procedure in order to expedite such grievance in the next step.
7. All meetings and hearings under this procedure shall be conducted in private.
8. All documents, communications and records dealing with the processing of a grievance file shall not be kept in the personnel file of any of the participants.
9. No grievance settlement may amend the terms and conditions of employment agreed by the Morris Board and the Association. If either party considers such change to be necessary, the agreed upon negotiation procedure must be followed.
10. Copies of all written exchanges between the aggrieved and school officials shall be transmitted to the Association President at the request of the aggrieved party.
11. Failure of the grievant(s) to appeal to the next level within the times specified shall bar further appeal with respect to the particular grievance then under consideration.
12. To entitle an aggrieved party to have his grievance processed, the grievant shall be required to follow the administrative decision, directive or Board policy which is the basis for the grievance, until such grievance is properly decided in accordance with this procedure.
ARTICLE 5
LEAVES OF ABSENCE
A. Sick Leave
1. Employee Illness
An employee steadily employed, or under tenure, is entitled to leave of absence with pay for personal disability due to illness or injury, or other cause specified in N.J.S.A. 18A:30-1, for:
a. ten (10) days in each school year.
b. as many additional days as the employee shall then have to his credit in unused sick leave which has accumulated from prior years as required by law (N.J.S.A. 18A:30-3).
- Any employee who is absent from his post of duty as a result of a personal injury caused by an accident arising out of, and in the course of his employment, shall be paid full salary for the period of such absence, for up to one calendar year, without having such absence charged to the annual sick leave or the accumulated sick leave. Salary payments made pursuant hereby shall be made for absence during the waiting period and during the period the employee received, or was eligible to receive, a temporary disability benefit under workers' compensation law. Any amount of salary
so paid to the employee shall be reduced by the amount of any workers' compensation award made for temporary disability (N.J.S.A. 18A:30-2.1).
- Employees shall be given a written accounting of accumulated sick leave days annually.
- Part-time employees shall be entitled to 10 sick days per year.
B. Extended Sick Leave
Any employee who has exhausted his current and accumulated sick leave may be granted extended leave of absence with partial pay for personal disability due to illness or injury, or other cause specified in N.J.S.A. 18A:30-1 for the remainder of any school year in which such extended leave begins. "PARTIAL PAY" shall be one-half the employee's normal salary. The decision of the Board on whether or not to grant extended sick leave will be final.
C. Personal Leave
An employee shall be entitled to a personal leave of absence with pay for not more than a total of six (6) days in each school year. Any unused personal days, up to a maximum of five (5), shall be applied to the employee's accumulated sick leave account.
1. Personal leave may be taken because of need arising from one or more of the following:
a. Severe illness of a spouse/domestic partner, ancestor, spouse's/domestic partner’s ancestor, descendant, spouse's/domestic partner’s descendant, or any relative living in the household.
b. Marriage of the employee or a member of the immediate family.
c. Such personal leave may also be granted for other compelling just cause.
An employee shall be entitled to take one (1) personal day without giving any reason to his or her supervisor.
Notification of taking Personal Leave
Notification does not constitute a request for permission.
Where the employee can give prior notice of personal leave, the employee shall notify his or her supervisor as far in advance as possible.
Where the employee must take emergency personal leave for which the employee cannot give prior notice, the employee shall use the same procedure as reporting absence because of illness.
Personal leave shall not be taken to extend vacation.
Unused personal days will be converted to unused sick days at the end of each school year in the following manner: Up to 5 unused personal days may be combined with up to 10 unused sick days to a maximum of 15 days accumulated per year.
Part-time employees shall be entitled to 6 personal days per year.
D. Death in Family
In addition to personal leave, an employee is entitled to leave of absence with pay for the following reasons:
1. In the case of a death in the immediate family of an employee or the spouse/domestic partner of an employee, the employee shall be allowed up to three (3) school days for each occurrence. Immediate family is defined as: father, mother, guardians, wife, husband, domestic partner, child, sister, brother, grandparents, grandchildren, or anyone else living in the employee's household. An additional five (5) days may be granted with permission of the immediate supervisor for good cause.
2. In the case of the death of other family members, an absence of two (2) days shall be allowed without loss of pay.
E. Professional Leave
An employee may be granted leave of absence with pay to attend a meeting or convention, or to engage in other temporary activity related to the employee's work, where it appears that the interests of the school district will be served to its advantage.
F. Sabbatical Leave
Definition
The word "teacher" shall be considered as including all certificated personnel.
1. Any teacher who has completed seven or more years of continuous, full-time service in the Morris School District may, upon recommendation of the Superintendent, be granted leave of absence by the Board for one full year for advanced study or travel combined with study. After each subsequent period of seven or more years of such service, a further leave of advanced study or travel combined with study may be granted.
2. Applications for sabbatical leave are to be submitted no later than October 1 of the school year prior to the school year during which requested sabbatical leave is to be taken. Such application shall be made upon a regular blank form furnished by the Board and shall indicate a program to be followed by the teacher during the period of leave.
3. Applicants shall agree to abide by all conditions set by the Board to govern such leaves of absence.
4. As a condition to such leave, the teacher shall be deemed to have agreed, by acceptance of such leave, to continue in the service of the Morris School District for a period of at least two years after the expiration of the leave of absence. Voluntarily failing to so continue ser-
vice, the teacher shall repay to the Board the full salary received while on leave.
5. A teacher granted sabbatical leave to engage in full-time study toward an advanced degree shall receive 75% of the salary he would be entitled to receive if not on leave. Full-time study means matriculation in an advanced degree program of a fully accredited advance degree granting institution for a full academic year. A teacher may also be granted sabbatical leave to engage in academic work and study related to his area of specialization combined with travel. If granted sabbatical leave for such purpose, or if engaged in a program of study less than full time, the teacher shall receive 50% of the salary he would be entitled to receive if not on leave. Salary payments for teachers on sabbatical leave shall be made in accordance with the schedule for payment of salaries in the school year, and all regular deductions for salaries, including pension fund deductions and others authorized by the teacher, shall be made.
6. In passing upon applications for such leave, the Board shall be guided by established guidelines and its appraisal of the resulting benefits to the school system, and such leave will be granted only where the Board is satisfied that the loss of the applicant's services for the period of the leave, together with the financial cost, will be more than offset, in terms of value to the school system, by the benefits to the school system reasonable to be anticipated from the granting of the application. Among other factors arising from this standard, due con-
sideration will be given to a reasonable distribution of sabbatical leaves among the personnel of the several buildings and departments.
7. Teachers on such leave may not associate for compensation with any person, persons or organizations during the school year unless the Board shall approve such association as beneficial to this school system, and only then upon conditions prescribed by it.
8. Teachers on such leave shall provide regular written reports as may be required.
9. Teachers on such leave will be considered in the employ of the Morris Board, and the time spent shall count as regular service toward retirement and for consideration in regard to salary adjustments.
10. Such leave of absence shall be without prejudice to the teacher's tenure rights.
11. Teachers whose applications for such leave have been denied shall receive written notification of specific reasons for denial.
G. Maternity Leave
An employee who is pregnant shall be entitled to a leave of absence for that period of time during which the employee, because of pregnancy, is physically unable to discharge her duties.
1. Upon request, an employee who is pregnant shall be entitled to a leave of absence without pay following the disability period related to the pregnancy, which leave shall commence immediately following the disability period and shall end on June 30 of the school year in which the leave related to the pregnancy begins.
2. A request for maternity leave shall be made in writing to the Superintendent at least 60 calendar days prior to the date that the leave is to become effective, and shall include the estimated date that the employee intends to return to work.
3. Eligibility to receive pay during the period of disability due to pregnancy shall be determined on the same basis as such eligibility is determined due to any other disability.
H. Childrearing Leave
In addition to leave under Section G above, an employee shall be entitled to a leave without pay for childrearing as follows:
1. The childrearing leave shall commence immediately following the leave provided under Section G above or, in the case of adoption, at a time as close to the arrival of the child as is possible.
2. The total duration of a leave without pay under Section G and H combined shall be no more than twenty-four (24) calendar months. If the twenty-four (24) month period ends in July or August, the employee shall return to work on the first scheduled work day in September.
3. The childrearing leave shall terminate on August 31 or at the end of the first semester of the school year.
4. The employee shall indicate the planned date for return to work at the time of application for the leave. Changes to the planned date of return can be made by the employee, subject to the provisions of subparagraphs H.2. and H.5.
5. Application for a childcare leave under Section H, or for a modification in the date for return to work, shall be made not less than forty (40) school days prior to the commencement of the leave or the original planned date of return to work. Exceptions to this forty (40) school days’ notice requirement may be granted due to emergent circumstance for good cause shown and at the sole discretion of the administration.
6. Leave under the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act and the New Jersey Family Leave Act shall run concurrent with leave granted under Section G or H of this Article.
7. In no event shall childcare leave under this section be granted to a non-tenured teacher, except as such rights exist under the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act and the New Jersey Family Leave Act.
I. Other Leaves of Absence
Other leaves of absence may be granted with or without pay if the same is authorized or validated by the Board.

The amount of the "signing bonus" shall not exceed $5000. Any amount over $1000 will be paid in two equal installments - the first upon the signing of the contract and the second upon completion of 4 months of employment.

years of related work experiences
During this contract period and when the district is experiencing difficulty in attracting qualified applicants, the Board may also choose to pay a "signing bonus" to new support staff, i.e., bus drivers, custodians, grounds people, security, secretarial, etc. who accept employment. This shall be $500 payable after a 60 day probationary period, and $500 upon the completion of 4 months of employment. As with certificated staff, the data and process used will be shared with TEAM.
D. Finder's Fee
The Board may offer a "finder's bonus" to TEAM employees who refer candidates who accept offers of employment with the district for hard to fill teaching or support staff positions. These bonuses will also be confirmed by the Board based upon recommendations of HRD who will have consulted with TEAM. The "finder's bonus" shall be 1% of the new hire's entry salary and will be paid at the end of the new hire's 60th day.
All certificated and non-certificated employees will be eligible to receive a "finder's fee" in the years 2, 2011-2014, for recommending candidates who subsequently become employees of the district. When the Board is unable to secure candidates for the positions indicated, discussions shall be held between the HRD and TEAM leadership immediately and an announcement pertaining to the finder's fee will be disseminated to staff.
To be eligible for the finder's fee, an employee must:
- have been employed by the district for not less than one year
- submit the name(s) of prospective candidate(s) within (time) of the said announcement
- provide a signed and dated recommendation form for each candidate
When the HRD receives recommendations, there will be an immediate review of applications to determine if the recommended candidate has already applied for a position in the district. If an application or resume is on file, the recommendation will be considered null. The submitter will be immediately contacted to be informed that his/her recommendation is not eligible for the fee should the applicant be hired. If, however, the candidate's application has not been received, the name of the recommended candidate and the employee's will be placed on file for future reference should the applicant be hired.
In cases where the same candidate is recommended by two or more employees, the employee whose recommendation which is received first will receive the finder's fee if the applicant is hired by the district. This will be determined by the stamp date procedure used in human resources.
