The chairman of the appeals board may extend any time limit specified in section 7083, subsections 1 to 4, upon written application of either party on condition the application is submitted within time provided for in the applicable step. Failure of an employee to pursue a grievance within prescribed time limits shall constitute an acceptance of the last response by the department.

A. At least one day prior to the presentation of the employee's grievance to his supervisor, the employee's representative, if any, shall have access to the work location of the employee involved during the working hours for the purpose of investigating the grievance.
