208.710. Supplemental wage assistance employment position created--violations, procedure.

208.710. 1. A supplemental wage assistance employment position shall be a new position within that place of employment.

2. Any individual or employee who believes that he or she has been adversely affected by a violation of subsection 1 of this section or an organization that is authorized to represent such individual or employee shall be afforded an opportunity to grieve it. Such individual or employee, or such individual's or employee's organization, shall first attempt to remedy the alleged violation through a meeting with the employer within thirty days of the request for a meeting. If the complaint is not resolved to the satisfaction of the individual or employee, such individual or employee may appeal to the department of labor and industrial relations commission, and the hearing shall be conducted in accordance with rules and notification requirements adopted by the commission and a decision shall be rendered within forty-five days of such hearing. If the individual or employee is aggrieved by the decision of the commission, the individual or employee may, within thirty days of the date of such decision, file a petition for review in the circuit court for the county in which the individual or employee resides. The commission shall not be a party in the action before the circuit court. However, if there is an existing grievance procedure in a collective bargaining agreement, such procedure shall be followed. Remedies shall include reinstatement, and retroactive pay and benefits.

3. Nothing in this section shall preempt or supersede any provision of state law which provides greater protection for employees from job displacement.
