The Record Grievances (ILGV) form allows you to record all grievances submitted by an
employee, union or by an entire location or department.
This form will display all people involved such as the employee and union representative in the grievance without allowing duplicates. In addition, ILGV can track the status and stage of the grievance, all correspondence, and costs related to the grievance. This form can also track each step the grievance goes through complete with signatures and comments.
Grievances may originate from complaint; however, not all grievances result from a complaint.
Escalate a Complaint to a Grievance
You may have also come to the ILGV screen by escalating a complaint to a grievance. In this scenario, you has created a grievance by selecting the Escalate to Grievance button on the ILCM form.
