Grievance Process for CSI Staff
INTRODUCTION
CSI Africa Security is operating in an environment where all members / employees of the company, through the very nature of our business, are regularly placed under tremendous pressure. This in turn may create situations where a particular member of staff conducts himself / herself outside the guidelines of the company’s policies and ethos, when said conduct may not necessarily be in direct conflict with the company’s disciplinary procedures or may be deemed a ‘special case’, where the matter may be dealt with outside the frame-work of said disciplinary procedures.
PROCEDURES
- Should a Member feel aggrieved by the conduct of another, said Member must report the incident to the Line Manager / Supervisor / H.R. Officer (chain of command) within 24 hours of the incident having occurred.
- Should the matter involve one of the Line Managers or individuals mentioned above, the member is authorized to approach a more Senior Member of the company by cellular phone or other means.
- The Line Manager / Supervisor / H.R. Officer must ensure that the initial ‘Grievance Form’ has been completed, signed by the member and handed to a Senior Member of the company within 24hrs of receiving said grievance.
- The administrative, inquiry and investigative process will then start, during which time the aggrieved Member will be interviewed by Management.
- The final step will be to bring both parties together and attempt to ‘reconcile’ them.
- Once this procedure has been exhausted and the aggrieved Member is still dissatisfied, it may be unavoidable to move the process on to the disciplinary level.
- The Snr. Operations Manager / Director / Managing Member or in the absence of the above, the Registered Company Secretary of CSI, will make the decision where this particular step (6 – above) is concerned.
- Always attempt to complete the entire process, no longer than 5 working days after the initial written grievance has been handed to the Line Manager / Supervisor / H.R. Officer.
In extreme circumstances, the process as set out in the HOTLINE section of the company website could be activated.
