The mission of the Employee Relations
Division is to provide the management of DHMH with the
appropriate advice, assistance and training on all
disciplinary matters, grievances and employer/ employee
relations issues.
The Employee Relations division routinely fields
hundreds of policy and procedural questions
from personnel officers, managers and supervisors. The
unit also serves as the Agency Technical Representative for
the administration of the State's Drug testing Program and
responds to management inquiries on drug testing throughout
the year.
Throughout
the year, the Division conducts training on progressive
discipline, the grievance procedure, employer/employee
relations and the performance appraisal process, as well as
assisting in the Domestic Violence training.
Employee
Relations Division personnel act as the
Secretary's designee
for all agencies of the Department. They provide advise to
personnel officers and other management personnel on grievance and disciplinary actions. They hold
grievance and disciplinary conferences at Step Two for all
these agencies. They also represent these agencies
before the Department if Budget and Management at settlement
conferences, and at the Office of Administrative
Hearings for grievance and disciplinary hearings. |
