from work.
63.4 Employee grievances shall be handled in the following
manner:
63.41 First Step. An attempt shall be made to adjust
all grievances on an informal basis between the
employee and /or his designated representative and
a supervisor in the employee's chain of command,
up to and including his division head, within
five (S) working days after the occurrence of the
incident involved in the grievance. The division
head shall deliver his answer within five (5)
working days after submission of the grievance to
him.
63.42 Second Step. If the grievance is not satisfac-
torily adjusted in the First Step, it shall be
submitted in writing to the employee's department
-86-
head within five (5) working days after the
division head's answer is received by the
employee and /or his designated representative.
The department head shall meet with the employee
and /or his designated representative within ten
(10) working days after submission of the grie-
vance to him. The department head shall review
the grievance and may affirm, reverse, or modify
as he deems appropriate, the disposition made at
the First Step and shall deliver his answer to
the employee and /or his designated representative
within five (5) working days after said meeting.

and binding decision. Such submission must occur
within thirty (30) days after the department

the issue and select the arbitrator. If such written notifica-
tion and selection of the arbitrator is not completed within
thirty (30) days after the department head's answer is received
by the employee and /or his designated representative, then
either party may take action to compel arbitration. Failure to

both parties, it being agreed that the arbitrator shall have no
powers to add to or subtract from nor to modify any of the
terms of any memorandum of understanding between the parties

City of Anaheim, and the laws and Constitution of the State of
California.

his decision in writing as quickly as possible but in no event

ings, unless the parties agree otherwise.

employee and /or his designated representative within the time
limits specified in the preceding Paragraphs shall be deemed
null and void, provided, however, the employee and /or his
designated representative and the ANAHEIM representative may
agree to continue said time limits.
63.9 Any adoption, deletion, or revision of ANAHEIM policy as
may be suggested or recommended by any employee or employee
-88-
0481/020984
organization shall not be considered to be a matter subject to

may be reinstated to his position as a result of a successful
appeal through the grievance procedure. In the event of such
reinstatement, the employee shall be returned to his former
status of employment, including reinstatement of seniority and
accrued fringe benefits. In such cases, the City Manager may
order the payment of back pay to a reinstated employee in any
amount up to payment for the full period of time involved. In
implementing an arbitrator's award, the City Manager shall
order the payment of back pay to a reinstated employee in the
amount provided in the arbitrator's award. It shall be con-
clusively presumed that there is no award of back pay to a
reinstated employee unless specifically set forth in the
written order of the City Manager. Any earnings of the rein-
stated employee from other employment during his period of
suspension shall be deducted from the amount of back pay
ordered by the City Manager.
