5-14-004 Personnel Action Resolution Procedures
(1) An employee may seek review of a personnel action decision.
(a) A personnel action decision is any decision by the employee’s supervisor regarding the employee’s status as an employee with the Tribe, such as a disciplinary action, termination of employment or the employee’s ability to qualify for any one of the benefits contained in the Personnel Policy such as approval or denial of administrative leave or compensatory time.
(b) If the employee’s supervisor made the personnel action decision, the employee may seek review by filing a written request for review with the supervisor’s manager. The request must be filed with the supervisor’s manager within five days of receipt of the supervisor’s written notice of a decision concerning the personnel action. The manager has five days to respond to the employee’s request.
(c) If the employee wishes to dispute the personnel action decision of a manager, the employee may seek review of the decision by the appropriate Chief Executive Team member. The appropriate Chief Executive Team member shall review the decision of the supervisor for compliance with the Personnel Policy.
(2) Appeals Board Review of Decisions of the Appropriate Chief Executive Team Member. In certain circumstances the Personnel Policy requires the appropriate Chief Executive Team member to make initial personnel action decisions. When the appropriate Chief Executive Team member makes the initial personnel action decision the appropriate Chief Executive Team member will conduct an evidentiary hearing as appropriate before making a final decision. The appropriate Chief Executive Team member’s decision will be final for the Tribe. If an employee disagrees with the appropriate Chief Executive Team member’s final decision, the employee may appeal the decision to the Appeals Board pursuant to the provisions of STC 16.001 et seq. [Res. 2022-10-016 § 1, 2022.]
