12.1 Staff Corrective Action Policy
All AdventHealth University employees are under the AdventHealth Corrective Action Policy (CW HR 274).
An employee has the right to appeal a disciplinary action based on the Grievance Policy found in the Employee Handbook.
12.2 Grievance
For purposes of this policy, a grievance is defined as a dispute concerning promotion, salary, work assignments, annual evaluation, the non-renewal and/or termination of employment, and/or other benefits or rights accruing to a staff member. When such a grievance occurs, the following process should be followed:
1. Staff are encouraged to seek an informal resolution at the level at which the action has occurred.
2. When such informal resolution does not occur, a staff member should bring a formal, written complaint to the next level in the administrative structure (e.g. if the dispute is with another staff member, to the Department Head or Director; if with a Department Head or Director, to the Vice President for the area, etc.).
3. A grievance must be filed within 30 days of the incident causing the grievance, or of the action resulting in the incident.
4. Consideration of the grievance will take place in a timely fashion at each level of the appeal process.
5. Recommendations will be made, in writing, within two weeks of filing the grievance.
6. If satisfactory resolution still does not occur, the staff member may take the complaint to the President of the University, whose decision regarding the grievance is final.
