The New York State Archives and Records Administration (SARA)
announces that the Grievance Tracking System (GTS), created by
the Governor's Office of Employee Relations, is now available
on-line via SARA's Internet site. Also available is a users'
guide designed to facilitate access to data in the system. Both
the data and the guide can be downloaded via SARA's web page at:
http://www.sara.nysed.gov/pubs/erguides/goergde.htm.
They can also be downloaded directly from SARA's ftp site at:
ftp://ftp.sara.nysed.gov/pub/goer
The Governor's Office of Employee Relations used the GTS to
collect information on employee grievances and grieved
disciplinary proceedings from all New York State Executive Branch
agencies from 1984-1990. The system contains two master files,
the Grievance Data File and the Discipline Data File.
The users' guide describes the data collection methods,
illustrates the components of the database, and defines each data
element utilized by the system. The guide also familiarizes the
user with the contractual grievance and disciplinary procedures
of New York State Executive Branch agencies.
