A revised Grievance Policy for University SHRA employees has been approved by the State Human Resources Commission. The updated policy will go into effect beginning Dec. 1, 2025.
There are three changes:
- There was a statutory change to add an employment preference for National Guard as eligible for the formal grievance procedure.
- Clarification on which grievable issues are not eligible for the formal grievance procedure but are instead processed through the Informal Discussion / Informal Inquiry process or other alternative dispute resolution process determined by the institution.
- Edits to EEO references for consistency with current university policy.
You can review the entire policy via the linked PDF. If you have questions about how these changes may affect you, please reach out to hrservice@northcarolina.edu.
