employees, one-stop partners, service providers, providers of training services
and other interested parties procedures for resolving grievances. Documentation
signed by the recipient is maintained showing this information has been received.
Grievance procedures are also posted in areas where administration and program
services are provided. Michigan Works Agencies must monitor grievances received
and the disposition and maintain records for a period of three years. If a significant
number or proportion of limited English-speaking individuals exist, then the
grievance procedure must be provided in the appropriate languages. Either the
TANF recipient or the displaced employee may appeal the decision of the Michigan
Works Agency to the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth, Office
of Workforce Development. Grievances must be filed within one year of the alleged
occurrence, a hearing must be conducted within 30 calendar days of filing and
a decision rendered within 60 calendar days of the grievance being filed. An
appeal must be filed within 10 calendar days from date of receipt of an adverse
decision or the date a decision was due but not received.
