What is the grievance procedure?
PsyBC is fully committed to conducting all activities in strict conformance with the American Psychological Association’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists. PsyBC will comply with all legal and ethical responsibilities to be non-discriminatory in promotional activities, program content and in the treatment of program participants. The monitoring and assessment of compliance with these standards will be the responsibility of the Education Chair in consultation with the members of the continuing education committee, the PsyBC Ethics Chairperson and the Convention Chairperson. While PsyBC goes to great lengths to assure fair treatment for all participants and attempts to anticipate problems, there will be occasional issues which come to the attention of the convention staff which require intervention and/or action on the part of the convention staff or an officer of PsyBC. This procedural description serves as a guideline for handling such grievances. When a participant, either orally o
A – As a recipient of mental health, mental retardation, or children’s services, you have certain rights in addition to any other rights you may have as a citizen. If you are receiving inpatient or outpatient services, you always have the right to be treated with courtesy and respect, and a treatment environment that upholds these values. No right, benefit, privilege or authority may be denied to you simply because you are a recipient of services. Any possible violation of basic rights is cause for grievance. Grievances may also be filed when you feel you have been subjected to any questionable or inappropriate treatment or method of providing treatment. You may also choose to file a grievance if you are dissatisfied with any policy or procedure that is used in relation to your care, any action taken by a mental health facility or agency, or inaction of a facility or agency.

The grievance procedure is the mechanism through which conflicts between players and management get resolved. Basically, it works as follows: • A player has been fined or suspended and she thinks the discipline is unfair, excessive or unwarranted: or, • Her team or the league has taken some action that she disagrees with, either involving her contract, negotiations for a new contract, or any other aspect of her employment. She then either informs her player representative, who in turn notifies us of the issue, or she calls us directly. We then contact the team or league and attempt to resolve the problem. If it cannot be resolved at that level, we will bring the issue before a neutral arbitrator. We represent the player at the arbitration hearing at no cost.
The grievance procedure is a negotiated article within your contract that enables the union to enforce the terms of the contract and protect the rights of workers. If management violates the contract, the grievance procedure allows the member to follow a process that can provide relief or justice. Teamster contracts may define a grievance in several ways: It could be “a dispute between the union and management over the application and/or interpretation of the agreement,” or “any dispute or difference arising between an employee and management or between the union and management.” Each grievance procedure has specific steps with time limits that must be followed. The steps in a grievance procedure vary, but a typical one may include: Step One: The steward and the grievant meet with the supervisor within 10 days of the occurrence to resolve the grievance. Management has five days to respond. • Step Two: If there is no settlement at Step One, a union representative, the grievant and a man
