Supervisor put this in writing!

This is the reason my former supervisor used to deny my request for official time.

"You are asking for "Official Time" to grieve a satisfactory performance appraisal and a letter of counseling for which the purpose is to prompt you to report to work on a timely and daily basis. Your request is denied."

Shows what you DONT know. You must be one of the emotional sorts. This is a clear violation of the regulations. The supervisor does not have the authority to dismiss an eeo claim that is filed against him - which is what he did. Even the eeo officer has certain criteria that has to be met before s/he can dismiss a claim. sheeeeeeeeeeeeezzzeeeeeeeee.

Before commenting please advise as to how many EEo complaints you have filed in your career. My experience is that 2% of employees file 98% of the complaints. Not to say they are not merited but maybe trivial.

Uh Oh not another emotional back response.

1. It does not matter how many claims an employee filed, read the law

2. A supervisor does not have the right to deny official time just because he does not agree with the claim filed against him/her

3. A supervisor does not have the right to deny official time just because the employee is going to file a claim is against him.

4. A supervisor does not have the right to deny official time just because the employee has filed other claims.

A supervisor does not have the right to deny official time because he believes the employees complaints are trivial.

I have never filed a complaint trivial that I believed was trivial. Furthermore, "Trivial" is subjective and is usally a cop-out by the supervisor to (improperly) deny offical time for an employee to file a claim against him. What may be trivial to you may be horendous to someone else, this is why we have laws. The supervisor is not in the position to deny official time because an employee a bunch of trivial complaints. No matter how many complaints, no matter how trivial each complaint may be there are laws in place to deal with those matters and it the obligation of the supervisor to uphold the laws -not to customize them in his/her favor - Get it???

So theoretically an employee could come in request 1 hour to go file a compliaint and then return and do that 7 times a day? You should answer the question "How many complaints have you filed". I can see them granting maybe a few times per week (and I am being generous here), but not an unlimited amount.

The law is there to allow an employee to file a grievance, not get out of work all day to file greivances.

You missed the point and dragged my comments all out of portion, I never stated that I asked to get out of work to file grievances or any of that other drama you added. You get the last word. This is mine. Finished.
