3.23 EMPLOYEE RELATIONS ISSUES
The Department of Employment Dispute Resolution
(EDR) is available to advise
employees on work-related problems, use of
the grievance procedure, and mediation. It
also assists employees and managers in
exploring options for resolving work-related
conflicts.
Classified employees have access to the
State Grievance Procedure after completing
the probationary period. This procedure
allows employees to bring concerns to the
attention of upper management.Before seeking dispute resolution through
the Grievance Procedure, employees may
choose the less formal alternative of
mediation. The Commonwealth Mediation
Program for classified state employees is a
voluntary process whereby trained mediators
work with the parties in strict
confidentiality to resolve work-related
conflicts.
DHRM Administrative Leave Policy 4.05
provides for employees to use a reasonable
amount of work time to pursue these
remedies. Resolution step meetings,
grievance hearings, and meetings with EDR
counselors may generally be charged to
Administrative Leave.
For more information on the Grievance
Procedure, contact the VHCC Human Resource
Office or go to
