Section EMP.01.01 — Purpose

The Stockbridge-Munsee Tribal Council recognizes that on occasion, differences may arise between employees and supervisors due to misunderstanding, lack of communication, or concern over supervisory decisions. The Stockbridge-Munsee Tribal Council further recognizes that employees of the Stockbridge-Munsee Community, comprised of all branches of government and business, need protection of their rights including a stable working environment and the right to file a grievance and seek assistance in solving on-the-job problems via the proper, established policies and procedures. However, Stockbridge-Munsee Community employees do not have property rights in employment. The Stockbridge-Munsee Tribe, through this ordinance, seeks to define and establish employee rights and to establish a grievance process allowing all tribal employees an opportunity to have recourse for their grievances.
