About
the PPSM Grievance Form
Policy 70 - Complaint Resolution
The
PPSM Grievance Form is a Microsoft Word document that can be completed on line, saved, attached to an e-mail,
and sent to Human Resources. Alternatively, it can be completed on line, printed out, and sent
to Human Resources by e-mail. If you submit the form electronically,
you must submit a hard copy showing the original signature within
5 calendar days of the original filing deadline. The complaint
will not be processed until a copy with the original signature
is received by the Grievance Coordinator. See
below for details.
You may wish to save it wherever you normally save documents
on your computer (e.g., Worddocs).
To complete the form:
- Move your cursor to the grey space in any field. The grey space supports an unlimited amount of text, although it looks small. Keep typing and it will expand. (However, please be succinct.) Do not use the Enter key to add space.
- Use the tab buttons to move from line to line.
- When you have a choice of boxes, enter an X in the box that reflects the correct choice by clicking inside the box. Please check only one box where appropriate.
