Grievance Procedure

A grievance procedure for all non-union classified and unclassified employees was established at Louisiana State University Health Shreveport so that employees who were dissatisfied or had a personal complaint could discuss their situation freely with appropriate personnel.

All employees may request to receive proper consideration toward resolving any problem. They should do so without fear of reprisal from anyone for using this procedure provided the effort to resolve the problem is sincere.

At each step in this procedure, the employee filing the grievance and the person against whom the grievance has been filed must be notified in advance and in writing of the step hearing. If either party chooses not to participate in the hearing procedure, the person designated to conduct the step hearing will proceed and render a decision based upon available evidence. A grieving employee who chooses not to participate in the hearing process forfeits appeal to the next step. (See "Steps for filing a Grievance", right column.)

Decisions rendered by the Office of the Chancellor are final within the university.

For further information on the Grievance procedure, or for an opportunity to informally discuss a potential complaint, contact the Department of Human Resource Management, Assistant Director of Employee Relations, Room 122, Administration Building, or call 318.675.5616.
