Representation Activity

An employee and a CASE local representative shall be authorized a reasonable amount of time off during work hours without loss of compensation (consistent with workload requirements) to prepare and present grievances and claims and appeals before SPB. CASE local representatives may be required to notify their immediate supervisors and obtain approval regarding the time of day for conducting such activities.
