FSA Grievance Process

• The student should discuss the grievance with the employee’s immediate supervisor within five working days of the occurrence.
• If the student and the supervisor are not able to resolve the grievance, either may request the FSA President, within 10 working days, to hear the grievance and render a decision.
• If the FSA President is a party to the grievance, then the employee may request, in writing (with supporting documents and materials), the FSA Personnel Com-mittee to hear the grievance within 20 days and render a decision.
• If either party is not satisfied with the decision in #2 or #3 above, an appeal may be made to the FSA Board of Directors. The appeal must be in writing (with supporting documents and materials) and must be supplied to the Clerk of the Board for distribution to Board members prior to the next meeting. The Board shall make a decision at their next meeting and it shall be final and the grievance ended.

A goal in this process is to handle grievances in a timely and effective manner for both the student and the FSA.
