V. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
Section 1 The Employer and the Union support and subscribe to an orderly method of adjusting
employee grievances. To this end, the Employer and the Union agree that an employee should first bring
his problem or grievance to the attention of his immediate supervisor, with or without his steward,
and an attempt will be made to resolve the grievance informally. In the event the steward is called
he shall be released from his duties as soon as possible and in any event no later than the beginning
of his shift the next day and the supervisor, the employee and the steward shall meet simultaneously
in an attempt to resolve the matter. Dismissals, suspensions, demotions and disciplinary actions of
any type shall not be a subject for the grievance procedure but shall be processed according to the
procedures of the Personnel Appeal Board.
Step 1 If the grievance is not settled informally between the employee and his immediate
supervisor, the employee shall have the right to discuss the grievance with his steward. If, in the
steward's opinion, proper cause for the complaint exists, the Union shall have the right to submit a
written grievance on the complaint to the immediate supervisor within five days. The written grievance
must be signed by the employee and his steward and receipt acknowledge by the employee's immediate
supervisor.
Step 2 The department will give its written reply within five days (excluding Saturday,
Sunday and holidays) of receipt of the written grievance.
Step 3 A grievance not settled at Step 2 may be submitted to the Grievance Committee within
five days of the date of the receipt of the written reply. Any grievance not submitted to the Grievance
Committee by written notification to the Employer within five days shall be considered dropped. A
meeting on the grievance shall be held by the Grievance Committee within ten days unless the time is
extended by mutual agreement of both parties.
Step 4 Any matter not settled in Step 3 of the grievance procedure may be submitted to final
and binding arbitration by either of the parties. A request for arbitration must be subMitted by
written notice to the other party within fifteen (15) days after the grievance committee meeting.
Expenses for arbitration shall be borne equally by both parties.
If the parties fail to select an arbitratior, one will be selected under the rules
of the American Arbitration Association.
The Arbitrator shall have no power or authority to add to, subtract from, alter or
modify the terms of this agreement, or set a wage rate.
Section 2 The time limits specified hereinafter for movement of grievances through the
process shall be strictly adhered to. In the event that a grievance is not appealed within the
particular specified time limit, it shall be deemed to be settled on the basis of the Employer's last
answer. In the event that the Employer shall fail to supply the Union with its answer to the particular
step within the specified time limits, the grievance shall be deemed automatically positioned for
appeal at the next step with the time limit for exercising said appeal commencing with the expiration
of the grace period for answering.
Section 3 All specified time limits herein shall consist only of County work days Monday
through Friday.
Section 4 Each grievance shall have to be initiated within five (5) days of each occurrence
of the cause for complaint or, if neither the aggrieved nor the Union had knowledge of said occurrence
at the time of its happening, then within five (5) days after the Union or the aggrieved becomes
aware of the cause for complaint.
VI. SENIORITY
New Employees may acquire seniority by working six (6) continuous months (refer to Rule 7
- Probationary Period, Oakland County Merit System Handbook), in which event the employee's seniority
will date back to the date of hire into the department. The date of employment will be determined by
the first date of eligible employment in the department as described in Rule 22 of the Oakland County
Merit System Handbook. When the employee acquires seniority, his name shall be placed on the seniority
list, in the order of his seniority date.
An up-to-date seniority list shall be furnished to the Union every three (3) months.
An employee shall lose his seniority for the following reasons:
(a) If the employee resigns or retires;
(b) If the employee is discharged, and not reinstated;
(c) If the employee is absent from work for three working days, without properly
notifying the Employer, unless a satisfactory reason is given;
(d) If the employee does not return to work at the end of an approved leave;
(e) If the employee does not return to work when recalled from a layoff.
VII. LAYOFF AND RECALL

County Merit System Handbook). All employees so laid off shall be offered the opportunity of recall
prior to the hiring of any new employees.
VIII. PROMOTIONS
All promotions within the bargaining unit shall be made on the basis of competitive
examination as provided for in the Oakland County Merit System. The employer will make his selection
for promotion from the three highest ranking candidates who have passed the promotional examination.
The qualification for admission to the examination will be seniority in 8 classification within the
bargaining unit and meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification of the vacancy as shown
in the latest dated written specification for that classification. In cases for which all other aspects
of the examination result in equal examination scores, seniority in the immediate lower classification
or classifications shall be the determining factor in arriving at the final ranking of the candidates.
These promotional examinations shall be conducted under the provisions of the Merit System
applying to continuous examinations. The Eligibility Lists shall be superseded by new Eligibility
Lists after a period of not less than two (2) years.
IX. RATES FOR NEW JOBS
When any position not listed on the wage schedule is filled or established, the County may
designate a job classification and rate structure for the position. In the event the Union does not
agree that the classification, rate or structure are proper, the Union shall have the right to request
a meeting of the special conference committee to discuss the matter.
X. TEMPORARY CHANGE OF RATE
In those cases in which the temporary assignment includes taking over the ultimate
responsibility inherent in the higher level job, and in which the employee working in the temporary
assignment has qualified for the higher level classification by taking and passing the promotional Merit
System examination for that classification; and in which the temporary assignment is for at least one
full shift, the base salary rate will be paid to the employee in the temporary assignment for the time
actually worked in the higher classification but the increased earnings will not count toward the basis
on which service increment pay is determined.

IN RE: ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BIALDINGS AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with Section X, Rule "A" of the Rules for Oakland County Board of Commissioners,
your Buildings and Grounds Committee has made its Annual inspection of county owned buildings and
grounds; and, is pleased to report that it found the majority of the county facilities satisfactorily
maintained, cleaned and repaired. The conditions speak well of the program carried out by the employees
and staff of the Board of Auditors Facilities and Operations Divisions.
During this past year there have been many accomplishments in the Facilities Capital Improve-
ment Program. Construction on the new Children's Village - Phase li was started in June 1973. The
cost of this project, $4,379,000, is being financed out of Revenue Sharing Funds. The Administrative
Annex II was renovated to furnish office space for the Planning Commission, Equalization and Friend of
the Court. Due to the Energy Crisis the actual relocation of the departments has been delayed to March
of 1974, for the purpose of conserving fuel.
A number of projects have been completed during the year. The Pontiac Health addition was
completed in August 1973, with financial assistance of S140,000 Federal grant. The Oakland Social
Service Building renovation was completed in January 1973; and provides office space for the Department
of Social Services, Office of Equal Opportunity, Senior Citizens' Drop-in Center and the Clothing Store
facility. Additional renovation improvements for this building have been authorized to bring the
facility up to county standards.
Two Circuit Courts and chambers were completed and occupied in March 1973, in the Courthouse
East Wing.
The Buildings and Grounds Committee, with the Health and Finance Committees, have initiated
and received numerous studies and reports from an Ad Hoc Committee; Board of Auditors; Facilities and
Operations and Tarapata, MacMahon, Paulsen, architectural firm, to determine the type of Hospital
services and facility requirements the county should have to meet the demands of the people. Your
Committee is still evaluating these reports and has requested some additional information before a
final determination will be made by February 1974,
The Service Center grounds continue to develop a campus like environment for county government.

the property which the county sold them in 1972, on Brown Road in Pontiac Township.
While it would be impractical to note each of the major repairs and alteration programs of
this past year, your Committee would like to report that it has been necessary to carry out a con-
tinuous program of alterations and repairs to provide adequate functional space for the county depart-
ments. The largest of the major building repairs was made to the exterior marble facia on the Court-
house Complex, which was completed this year. Also, major renovations at the Southfield Health Center
and Courthouse Complex were completed to accommodate the different agency requirements for office
expansion.
Your Committee continues to see a large task ahead to provide governmental facilities for
our growing county. Surplus space in the existing buildings is non-existent.
In 1973 the county surpassed the one million square foot mark, with a total of 1,039,695
square feet of floor area.
This year has been a busy year, but your Committee expects the years ahead to be even busier
in order to provide an adequate physical plant in which to carry out -county services-.
