Federal public service: complain about an unfair labour practice or labour-relations breach within 90 days

Priority

The 90-calendar-day limit generally cannot be extended. A grievance, staffing complaint and section 190 complaint use different routes.

Confirm the scope

Confirm the complainant and respondent are covered and that the facts amount to a listed unfair practice or labour-relations breach.

Prepare the information

Distinguish a complaint, individual grievance, adjudication referral, staffing and OHS route and calculate 90 days from awareness.

Complete the process

Prepare the parties, dates, acts, corrective attempts, requested order and records without unnecessary personal information.

Keep follow-up records

File Form 16 or use e-filing before the deadline and follow service, response, mediation and hearing steps.
