SHRA Grievance Policy Changes Effective on November 1st 2025

On September 18, 2025, the North Carolina Human Resources Commission approved revisions to the SHRA Employee Grievance Policy. The revised policy is effective November 1, 2025. Changes include:

1. The addition of employment preference for National Guard as eligible for the formal grievance procedure.
2. Clarification on which grievable issues are not eligible for the formal grievance procedure but are instead processed through the Informal Discussion / Informal Inquiry process or other alternative dispute resolution process determined by the institution.
3. Edits to EEO references for consistency with current policy.

 The revised policy will be available on the University Policies webpage in the Employee Matters Policies section on November 1, 2025.
