TAMUG COMPLAINT GRIEVANCE PROCESS FOR NON FACULTY EMPLOYEES    

General Information:

This guidance applies to complaints by non-faculty employees filed under University Regulation 32.01.02, Complaint and Appeal Procedure for Nonfaculty Employees.

The term complaint includes any appeal of an adverse employment action, discipline, or dismissal.

Most problems can be resolved through informal discussions between the employee and the immediate supervisor, department head, or human resources staff.

Although an employee is encouraged to resolve a complaint informally first, he or she may file a complaint without first seeking informal resolution.

Process:

Employees file a complaint under University Regulation 32.01.02 by completing a Complaint and Appeal Form and submitting to Human Resources within (7) seven business days of the action that caused the complaint or (5) five business days of a reduction in force (RIF) notification.

A complaint delivered to the Human Resources office later than seven business days of the action that caused the complaint will be deemed untimely filed and will be dismissed.

Related Information:

Employees who have been subject to a reduction in force are governed by System Regulation 33.99.15, Reduction in Force for Nonfaculty Employees and Standard Administrative Procedure 33.99.15.M0.01, Reduction in Force for Nonfaculty Employees.

Procedures related to allegations of illegal discrimination, sexual harassment, and/or related retaliation are initiated by filing a complaint in accordance with University Rule 08.01.01.M1, Prohibited Conduct: Discrimination, Harassment, Complicity, and Related Retaliation based on a Protected Characteristic.
