A “grievance” is a complaint by a permanent employee alleging a misinterpretation or misapplication of a practice or policy under the rules and regulations set out in this chapter or applicable provisions of the personnel code or rules and regulations of the Personnel Division that has a detrimental effect upon the employee.
