If a settlement is NOT reached then…

 

Stage Two

Within 21 calendar days of the written reply from stage 1, PAR-BC will again submit the written grievance to the employer. The matter will be discussed between PAR-BC and the Employer.

If after Stage 2 a settlement is still not reached the process moves to arbitration.
