OFFICE OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
GENERAL NOTICE NO. 102
SUBJECT: Office of Research and Development Grievance
Procedures
General
This notice outlines the grievance procedures to be
followed within the office of Research and Development.
These procedures are consistent with existing grievance
procedures as spelled out in and DDS&T
General Notice Number 191.
Definition
A grievance is an employee's feelings (oral or written)
of dissatisfaction with any aspect of his working conditions
and relationships which are outside his control.
Policy
It is the policy of ORD that every attempt will be
made to resolve employee dissatisfaction before the
employee feels compelled to file a formal grievance.
Supervisors will give immediate attention to a grievance
at the earliest indication that such a grievance exists.
No adverse action will be taken against any employee who
files a grievance.
Employees who desire to express their dissatisfaction
with aspects of working conditions or relationships are
encouraged to present their complaint to their immediate
supervisor or to the management level at which the
individual feels the problem can be most candidly
presented and equitably resolved. If resolution is not
effected there, the individual is encouraged to move upward
to the next level.
In view of the relatively small size of ORD and the
general "open door" policy of supervisors as well as the
access to the EO/ORD and the Support Branch, most grievances
should be resolvable within the office.

If, however, after exhausting avenues for resolution
within ORD, the employee is not satisfied with the action
taken, he/she will be referred to the Executive Office/DDS&T.
The EO/DDS&T may resolve the issue or may recommend a
course of action for the DDS&T.
If a satisfactory adjustment still is not reached,
the employee may ask that 1iis, case be reviewed by the
Director of Personnel. If still dissatisfied, the employee
may appeal through the Inspector General to the Director
of Central Intelligence whose decision is final.
Equal Employment grievances, i.e., those charging
some form of discrimination, should follow basically the
same procedure within ORD. However, for EEO cases the
grievant may wish to initiate the action through the ORD
Equal Employment officer (in ORD the Chief/Support Branch/MS).
The C/SB/MS will arrange for an interview with a DDS&T EEO
counselor. That counselor will assist the employee in
resolving the issued
