On October 24, 2013, the WORK Center released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for organizations to develop OJT training opportunities with local businesses for Bridges to Engineering participants as required by the H -1 B Technical Skills Training grant. Eight proposals were distributed and only two responses were reviewed and evaluated. The evaluation panel consisted of one member each from the California Employment Development Division, Rancho Santiago Community College District, and CDC Small Business Finance. Proposals were reviewed and rated based on the following criteria: past experience, comprehensiveness of services, and reasonable cost. Network Kinection, LLC, which is located in Diamond Bar, was selected.

An essential part of developing that environment is ensuring that staff is encouraged to come forward with their grievances in the knowledge that the responsible supervisors will take appropriate action to address those grievances. Grievances that are not addressed have the potential to grow into major problems that can cause tension, low morale and reduced performance and productivity. 1,2 Grievance resolution is an integral part of a supervisor's duties. Each supervisor has a responsibility to identify, prevent and address problems in the workplace. 1.3 Any member of staff may lodge a grievance regarding work - related problems. However, if other procedures exist that more appropriately address that grievance (i.e. sexual harassment or unlawful discrimination), that mechanism should be used. 2.0 PROCEDURES Preliminary Action 2.1 Before initiating the grievance procedures, complainants are encouraged to try to resolve any grievance directly with the person /s concerned. If this is not possible or appropriate, the complainant should proceed to Step 1 of the grievance procedures. 2.2 A staff member should raise their grievance with the person /s concerned as early as possible. Step 1 - Talk to immediate supervisor 2.3 Where the complainant has been unable to resolve the grievance, he /she should take the matter up with their immediate supervisor. Where the grievance involves the supervisor, the staff member should refer the matter to the supervisor's supervisor. 2.4 The supervisor should address the grievance with a view to resolving it expeditiously, normally within two weeks of receiving the complaint. 2.5 Following resolution of the grievance, the supervisor should monitor the situation for a period of time. 251 -45 2.6 In any action taken, the supervisor should ensure procedural fairness for all parties involved, including informing the respondent of the allegations made against him /her, and providing him /her with an opportunity to respond. Step 2 - Referral to senior manager 2.7 If the complainant believes the grievance has not been resolved to their satisfaction during Step 1, they can refer the matter to the senior manager in the Division or Department. The senior manager may require the complainant to put the grievance in writing. The senior manager should attempt to resolve the matter within three weeks of receiving the grievance and should follow similar procedures outlined in Step 1, 3.0 OUTCOMES Outcomes could include: • The complainant gaining a better understanding of the situation and no longer being aggrieved. • The complainant receiving a verbal or written apology. • The respondent receiving a verbal or written reprimand; • One or both parties agreeing to participate in some form of counseling. 251 -46 MAYOR Miguel A.

The EEO Officer will review the case and ascertain facts prior to the conference so that appropriate resolution can take place at the time of this meeting whenever possible. b.

If mutually satisfactory resolution results and the Santa Ana LWIA concurs, the EEO Officer will write a brief report for the file stating the issues and resolution. The matter shall then be considered closed. d. If resolution does not result, the complainant shall be provided the necessary information and assistance to request a hearing if he /she so desires. 3.

It should provide the flexibility to enable adjustment to the circumstances presented. 1. The hearing officer shall have complete independence to obtain facts and make decisions. The hearing officer shall be in a position to render impartial decisions and thus should not be subordinate to the Santa Ana LWIA or its sub recipients.

If the parties involved, or their representatives, do not know how to ask the right or pertinent questions in pursuing their right to due process, it shall be necessary for the hearing officer to step in to have all the materials and relevant facts elicited. The practice in informal hearings is generally not to apply strict rules of evidence in obtaining facts. However, the quantity of evidence required to support a decision on an issue should be sufficiently credible that the state (or other appropriate agency), upon reviewing the decision, would conclude that the decision is supported by substantial evidence. 8. The hearing officer should attempt to negotiate a resolution of the issue at any time prior to the conclusion of the hearing. 9. Within ten (10) days of the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing officer will issue a recommended decision to the LWIA for final determination.
