(b) If the grievance is not satisfactorily adjusted within three (3) working days after initial discussion, the employee may, within ten (10) days thereafter, appeal his grievance in writing on the form provided therefor by the Personnel Director to his department director who shall, after a hearing with the employee and review of all pertinent information, render a decision in writing within five (5) working days of such formal hearing.

(c) If, after the determination by the department director, an employee remains aggrieved, he may, within ten (10) working days of receipt of the department director's decision, appeal in writing on the form provided therefor by the Personnel Director, the decision of the department director to the City Manager, whose decision shall be final.

(d) At any grievance hearing pursuant to this Section before the department director or the City Manager, an employee shall not be denied the right to be represented if he so desires.

(e) At every level, a grievable action may be upheld as proposed, upheld with modifications, or reversed.

(f) If the immediate supervisor or the department director fails to respond to the grievant within the time period required, the grievance shall be considered denied at that level and the employee may continue his appeal at the next appropriate level.

(g) If the grievant fails to exercise his right of appeal at any level within the time period permitted, such failure shall constitute a waiver of his right to appeal, and the last determination made shall be conclusive and binding.
