Human Resource Services
Workplace Disputes
The Employee Relations section of Human Resource Services encourages and promotes a positive working relationship among university employees through the efforts of its satellite offices located in the Health Science Center, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS), Physical Plant Division (PPD), and HRS Building (which serves the Auxiliaries as well as Education and General [E&G] budgetary units).
These offices provide a comprehensive, service-oriented employee relations agenda. Our staff assist supervisors with coaching and counseling their employees; serve as a mediator at meetings; recommend fair and appropriate disciplinary actions; ensure consistency throughout the University community; and provide accurate information and guidance pertaining to various procedures, policies, and regulations. Our staff also assist employees with the efficient resolution of workplace disputes; oversee the complaint and grievance processes; provide career counseling sessions; and recommend alternative resources as necessary.
Grievances & Complaints
Because the university encourages informal resolution of grievances and complaints, your immediate supervisor is available to help you resolve any work-related concerns or misunderstandings. Should this type of informal resolution be unsuccessful, you may choose to initiate a formal grievance or complaint. USPS and TEAMS employees have different procedures and various options; therefore, please contact your human resources satellite office for assistance.
