his/her designee shall respond to the employee in writing within ten (10) days of the meeting. The <br />decision of the City Manager is final. <br />If anon-represented employee is filing a complaint related to a discharge or a discipline which <br />deprives the employee of something to which he/she has a property right (e.g. suspension or <br />demotion), the employee is entitled to request a full hearing and representation at the Step 4 level <br />of the complaint. <br />Any or all time limits specified in the complaint procedure may be waived by mutual consent of the <br />parties. The employee or the City may request the extension of time. Such request will not be <br />arbitrarily denied. Failure to submit the complaint in accordance with these time limits without a <br />waiver will constitute abandonment of the complaint. Failure by the City to submit a reply within the <br />specified time without a waiver will allow the employee to move the complaint to the next step. <br />IMPORTANT NOTE - If an employee's complaint involves an alleged violation of the City's anti- <br />harassment/anti-discrimination policy, anti-violence policy, or an allegation of supervisory <br />misconduct, the employee should contact a management employee in Human Resources and Risk <br />Services immediately. <br />Page 11-February 2004 <br />
