§ 12.04.1. Hearing of grievances.  


Latest version.
  • The civil service rules shall include provisions establishing a formal procedure for the review of employee grievances not covered under labor agreements. After exhausting the formal grievance procedure, the complaining employee may petition the civil service commission for a hearing and the commission shall, within a reasonable time, conduct a hearing at which all parties to the grievance or their representatives may be heard. The commission shall have the power to issue subpoenas and to administer oaths and to compel the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of books and papers relevant to the grievance. The commission may make complaint to the district court of disobedience of its subpoena or orders under this section. Following the hearing, the commission shall promptly rule on the grievance petition. Its decision shall have such binding effect as the civil service rules prescribe.
