and the various dispute resolution processes available on campus.
Progressive Discipline
The Office of Labor Relations helps to ensure that the State classified
system's progressive discipline process is fairly and appropriately utilized
by appointing authorities and supervisors of classified staff. Certified
classified staff are subject to progressive discipline to address performance
or behavioral problems before their employment can be terminated. Supervisors
and appointing authorities should contact the Office of Labor Relations
at 303-492-0956 for guidance on administering progressive discipline.
Progressive discipline training is available to departments upon request.
Grievance Process
The Office of Labor Relations administers the formal grievance process
for classified staff. The grievance process is used for disputes that
do not involve pay, status or tenure and those that are not related to
performance management. All grievances must be initiated within 10 calendar
days of the incident(s) being grieved. The grievance process is initiated
by submitting the grievance form to the Office of Labor Relations before
the 10 day deadline. For questions regarding the grievance process, please

of a classified staff (except annual total compensation survey, discretionary
