Purpose
The College recognizes that from time to time staff members may experience problems or have conflicts or concerns related to their employment at Rollins. These procedures are intended to provide a fair internal process for resolving disputes of staff members. The success of these procedures depends upon the willingness of all members of the College community to participate when asked and to do so truthfully. Retaliation of any employee who exercises his or her rights under this policy is prohibited. Any employee who penalizes or retaliates against another employee for exercising their rights will be subject to disciplinary action.
All regular exempt and non-exempt staff members with an active employment status may use this procedure. Allegations of discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, sexual orientation, or disability must be processed through the Discrimination Grievance Procedure outlined in policy HR7420. Terminated employees are not eligible to use this procedure. However, a terminated staff member may use the Discrimination Grievance Procedure outlined in policy HR7420 if they believe that their termination was the result of unlawful discrimination or sexual harassment.
The procedures and resources outlined herein may be used in connection with perceived inequitable or unfair disciplinary actions; violations or misapplication of College policies, procedures, or rules; perceived safety hazards; and other work related conflicts. Procedures outlined herein may not be used to seek redress for concerns relating to salaries, layoffs, promotions, transfers, and performance evaluations, except in such cases where violations of College policies and procedures are being alleged. The procedures outlined herein may not be used to file complaints against the President.
