How to File a Complaint or Grievance

• Use one of these methods to identify your title code:
  • Find it on your pay stub
  • Check the Title and Pay Plan
  • Contact Employee Relations, your supervisor, or your department HR contact
• If your position's title code is covered by Personnel Policies for Staff Members (PPSM), review PPSM policy and the UCSD implementing procedures for complaint resolution.
• If your position's title code is covered by a collective bargaining agreement, review the applicable grievance procedure.

Consult the PPSM or your collective bargaining agreement to find your specific filing time limit. Most time limits are 30 calendar days.

1. Obtain and complete a complaint or grievance form by calling Labor Relations, (858) 534-2810.
