Grievances

A complaint is an informal claim by an employee or the FA of improper, unfair, arbitrary, or discriminatory treatment. A complaint may, but need not, constitute a grievance, and is processed through an informal procedure. If you have a complaint or question, contact the FA Adjunct Coordinator at the FA Office, 631-451-4151.

A grievance is a violation, breach, misinterpretation or improper application of the contract, and the grievance procedure is a means of enforcing or administering the contract. If you believe that the college has violated a specific policy, of if you believe that your contractual rights have been violated, contact the Grievance Officer at the FA Office, 631-451-4151.

Grievances and complaints must be filed within 30 working days after the "violation" occurred.
