III. M. DeKalb Technical College

Employee Grievance Procedure

DeKalb Technical College recognizes the need for a consistent process for resolution of non-disciplinary employment concerns for employees in the unclassified service.

DeKalb Technical College follows the guidelines provided by the Technical College System of Georgia for addressing workplace grievances. The Technical College System of Georgia’s Grievance procedures provide employees a guideline for expressing concerns about employment. The procedure does not compromise the rights of management to direct the workforce in accomplishing the agency mission. This process is not applicable to disciplinary matters and does not alter the employment at-will relationship between the agency and its at-will employees.

The President has designated the Director of the Office of Human Resources as the DeKalb Technical College Employee Grievance Coordinator responsible for receiving grievances, determining grievability, and tracking the processing of grievances.

The President has designated the Vice President of Student Affairs as the Agency Grievance Review Official to conduct grievance reviews for unclassified employees.

Student Grievances are processed through academic channels or to the Vice President of Student Affairs, depending on the nature of the grievance.
