Step 4 Settlement Agreement: Article 19; Handbooks and Manuals (1985)

The issue in this grievance is whether the information cited in paragraph three of the letter regarding removal from the restricted sick leave list violates the National Agreement. After reviewing this matter, we mutually agreed that no national
interpretive issue is fairly presented in this case. This is a local dispute suitable for regional determination by application of Part 513.37 of the ELM to the fact circumstances. The parties at this level agree that the same procedure is followed when returning an employee to the restricted sick leave list, as that utilized for an initial placement under this requirement. Accordingly, we agreed to remand this case to the parties at Step 3 for further processing including arbitration if necessary.
