Modifications to a local governmental unit's employee grievance procedure. (FE)

What it would have done

Summary by the Legislative Reference Bureau, the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill specifies that, if a local governmental unit creates a grievance procedure for its employees, the procedure shall contain termination, discipline, and workplace safety elements. Unless the discipline procedure provides otherwise, the local governmental unit may not define discipline to include any form of employment action other than suspension, termination, disciplinary reduction in rank, or any other disciplinary measure that results in a loss of wages to the employee that is contemporaneous with and directly related to the employment action. The bill also provides that if an employer places any written disciplinary materials in an employee's personnel file, the employer must so notify the employee, who has the right to place a written response to those materials in his or her file.
