This procedure applies to all volunteers at Destiel and covers grievances related to working conditions, treatment by other volunteers or staff, organizational policies, and any other issues impacting the volunteer experience.

3. Initial Steps

If you have a grievance, follow these initial steps to seek resolution:

  • Step 1: Speak directly with the person involved to try and resolve the issue informally.
  • Step 2: If the issue is not resolved, or if you are uncomfortable addressing the person directly, speak with your supervisor to seek assistance in resolving the grievance.

4. Formal Grievance Process

If the grievance is not resolved through the initial steps, you can initiate the formal grievance process:

  • Step 3: Submit a written grievance to the HR department, detailing the nature of the grievance, any steps taken to resolve it informally, and the desired outcome.
  • Step 4: The HR department will acknowledge receipt of the grievance within business days and begin an investigation. This may include interviewing the parties involved and reviewing relevant documents.

5. Appeal Process

If you are not satisfied with the resolution of your grievance, you have the right to appeal:

  • Step 6: Submit a written appeal to the Executive Director within business days of receiving the HR department's response. Include the reasons for the appeal and any additional information for consideration.
  • Step 7: The Executive Director will review the appeal and may conduct further investigations as needed. A written decision will be provided within business days, which will be final and binding.

6. Confidentiality

All grievances will be handled with the utmost confidentiality. Information will only be shared with those directly involved in the investigation and resolution process.
