Talk:Resolution Committee

Tony's feedback, not yet incorporated

An RC is always created within the framework of the current grievance and discipline policy as agreed to by the staff collective. This policy is not outlined here, but must be followed by the RC.

This "current grievance and discipline policy <http://wiki.freegeek.org/index.php/Staff_Discipline_Policy>" is also a proposal, not an approved policy. Additionally, it references a formal meeting, with details as to how to conduct such a meeting outlined in an empty wiki link <http://wiki.freegeek.org/index.php?title=Formal_Staff_Discipline_Meeting_Procedures&action=edit>. In order to approve the RC policy, we'd either need to remove references to non-existent policies, or create and approve the policies it refers to first. Actually, they both refer to each other, so it seems we'd basically just need to approve them together: The Staff Grievance and Resolution Omnibus Act of 2009, or something.

ABOVE IS BEING DISCUSSED IN HR AS OF 8/09

The policy does not specify that the discussion leading to the should happen with or without the affected member present. This seems important, and I'd assume it'd be the same as with provisional reviews where someone may speak on their own behalf, but leave for the decision. Reading it now, I assume they'd be present for the whole time, which seems silly.

(What if the issue happens again? New RC? Perhaps it dissolves after a set amount of time? -- Shawn)
