Grievance policy makes comeback in Winfield

A new grievance policy could make its way back into the City of Winfield employee handbook after the previous one was removed earlier this year.

Winfield city commissioners were presented with recommendations for a proposed policy by Human Resources Director Jamie Chism at their Thursday work session. Chism said members of the city’s Employee Action Committee made changes to the previous policy, then took it back to their respective departments for feedback.

“We didn’t want to just put the old one back in,” Chism said. “We wanted to make it the employees’ policy.”

Chism said the feedback from other employees on the revised policy has been good.
