Wisconsin Department of Children and Families Wisconsin Works (W-2) Manual |
A regular employee of a W-2 work-training provider/employer may file a complaint with the local JCCC if the employee believes that he or she or another employee was unlawfully terminated to create a vacancy for a person in a W-2 employment position, i.e., TEMP , CSJ , or W-2 T placement, or if the employee believes that a person in a W-2 employment position has been unlawfully placed in a vacancy created by a labor dispute.
Complaints of displacement must follow the procedure outlined in the W-2 Employee Displacement Grievance Policy (13121-P).
In addition:
· Employees may initiate a group complaint. In such a case, the complainants shall choose one individual to represent the interests of the group. A group complaint shall be so designated at the first step of the grievance procedure and signed by all employees who are parties to the complaint.
· A work training provider/employer against whom multiple complaints have been lodged may ask that the JCCC or the W-2 Agency consolidate complaints. The JCCC or agency may consolidate complaints where a reasonable basis for consolidation exists.
· No work training provider/employer may retaliate against an employee, his or her representative, or any witness who participates in the grievance procedure, for initiating or participating in the grievance procedure.
