II.M. – Grievance and Appeal Procedures – All Employees
1. Classified Employees
Provisions for grievance and appeals procedures for classified employees are provided for in Chapter 53, Title 67 Idaho Code and the rules of the State Division of Human Resources. The University of Idaho shall, to the extent practical, provide for similar grievance and appeals procedures for its classified employees.
2. Non classified Employees (including Faculty Employees)
Each institution and agency must establish internal policies and procedures to provide for grievances and appeals for human resource matters. Such policies and procedures shall be forwarded to the Executive Director for review and maintenance on file in the Office of the State Board of Education. Internal procedures must include the following elements:
- provision for informal resolution;
- procedures for filing a formal, written complaint;
- reasonable time requirements;
- a description of the hearing body; and
- requirements for retention of records.
In accordance with Board Policy II.B.2.b., the Board delegates authority for personnel management to the chief executive officers. Except as otherwise provided in Section II.F., human resource matters are not appealable to the Board. Internal institution and agency policies for grievances and appeals must be exhausted before an employee may seek judicial review.
