3. Aggrieved Party – An "aggrieved party" is the employee or employees or any authorized representative thereof filing the complaint.

5. School Day – A "school day" in the grievance procedure shall be defined as any day when the Board of Education is open.
6. Representative – The term "representative" shall mean an agent assigned by the Association.
B. Purpose: The purpose of this procedure is to resolve grievances affecting employees at the lowest step. Both parties agree that these proceedings will be kept informal and confidential.
The Board and the Association hereby declare that any employee of the Board invoking the grievance procedure herein set forth shall be free from any prejudicial or punitive action.
C. Procedure:
1. Time Limits – Grievances shall be moved by the steps described below promptly. Time may be extended by common agreement, in writing.
2. Step One – An aggrieved employee shall first discuss the grievance with his immediate superior either within five (5) school days of the occurrence or when the employee is aware that an incident can lead to a grievance.
The reply or decision to the grievance at this step shall be made to the aggrieved employee within three (3) school days.

5. Step Four – Arbitration – If the aggrieved employee is not satisfied with the disposition of his grievance in the foregoing steps, he shall have thirty (30) school days to notify the Board and file for arbitration.

Fees are not required for partisan, political activities or causes or ideological positions only incidentally related to terms and conditions of employment and all benefits available only to members of the majority representation.

C. Deduction and Transmission of Fee: The Association shall establish a demand and return system. This system provides that a non-union member may appeal the amount of the representation fee assessed against him/her. The non-member shall receive a full and fair hearing.

E. Termination of Employment: The collection structure will be on a pro rata basis. Employees terminating their employment will be considered "paid in full" with their last pro rata monthly deduction.
F. Changes/New Employees: The Association will notify the Board in writing, of any changes in the list provided for in paragraph D above and/or the amount of the representation fee, and such changes will be reflected in any deductions made more than thirty (30) days after the Board received said notice.
