(a) Policy. (1) Whenever the grantee or subrecipient is an employer,
it shall continue to operate or shall establish and maintain for its
participants a grievance procedure relating to the terms and conditions
of JTPA employment. The employer who does not have a grievance procedure
may use the complaint procedure established under Sec. 636.3. Employers
shall inform participants of the procedures they are to follow.
(2) A participant who elects the grievance procedure in this
section, may also pursue a complaint under Sec. 636.3 where there is an
alleged violation of the Act, regulations, grant or other agreement
under the Act.
(b) Equal benefits. Where local law, personnel rules, or other
applicable requirements specify procedures (including procedures for any
adverse action or for termination of employment), similarly employed
JTPA participants shall be notified of their right to use the same
procedures, as well as JTPA procedures.
