Employee Problem Resolution Process
Every individual working at the College shares responsibility in seeking resolutions to these work-related problems, and it is in the best interest of all concerned to resolve disagreements or misunderstandings as quickly and amicably as possible. No employee should hesitate to raise a concern for fear of disciplinary action and/or retaliation.
The following resources identified below are a reminder to employees of the various methods available to resolve a problem, concern or complaint adversely affecting working conditions and job satisfaction:
Supervisor/Senior Officer
Employees should attempt to resolve the problem, concern or complaint informally with his or her immediate supervisor as quickly as possible. If the nature of the concern clearly prevents the employee from discussing the problem with their immediate supervisor, the department head or senior officer should be consulted.
