| Personal Cases |
| |
|
Among the services the Union
offers to its members is
that of dealing with
"Personal Cases". If you
have a problem relating to
your conditions of service,
sanction for permanent
appointment, incremental
credit, allowances, etc.,
you should use the following
procedure: |
|
|
 |
The problem should be
raised through your School
or Branch Representatives
with the VEC or Board of
Management. |
|
|
If the VEC or Board accept
the Union's representations
but requires sanction from
the Department of Education
then. |
|
|
|
|
|
The VEC or Board of
Management should submit a
proposal to the Department
of Education for sanction.
If the VEC or |
|
|
Board of Management refuse
to submit a proposal, or if
the sanction is either not
forthcoming or is refused by
the Department, you should
inform the Branch Secretary
who will bring the matter to
the attention of Head
Office. |
|
|
|
|
|
In the case of a refusal
from the Department, the
Committee or Board must be
asked to appeal the
Department's |
|
|
decision and if possible set
out supporting argument for
the appeal. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Union operates 'clinics'
on a regular basis with
officials of the Department
to deal with personal cases
which have |
|
|
been processed as above.
When contacting the Union
with your case it is vital
that all relevant
information and copies of
all relevant documents
should be enclosed in order
that representations on the
teacher's behalf may have
the greatest chance of
success. |
|
|
Failure to receive sanction
at this stage will normally
end representations from the
Union. However, if the
decision to refuse sanction
by the Principal Officer of
the Department is one that
the Executive cannot accept,
one final appeal may be made
to the appropriate Assistant
Secretary, or to the
Secretary of the Department.
Personal cases in the
Institutes of Technology are
dealt with by the Branch
directly with the Institute
with assistance from the
Area Representative or Head
Office as appropriate.

Personal Case Management
Services from Admission to
Discharge |
|
To ensure a seamless
transition, a personal case
manager is appointed to
guide each case from
admission through discharge.
The case manager is
available to answer
questions upon admission,
and to plan a safe, timely
and appropriate discharge
utilizing all resources
available. From selecting
new services to policy
questions and billing and
insurance information, your
personal case manager will
work collaboratively with
you to supply you with the
facts you need to make
responsible choices during
your stay with us-and
beyond. |
