Minnesota Administrative Rules

3905.0500 REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLAINT PROCEDURES.

In an agency's internal procedure for processing complaints of alleged discrimination from applicants, eligibles, and employees, the initial step must provide for a determination of whether the complaint is properly a discrimination complaint and, therefore, appropriate to be addressed by the internal procedure. Time limits on these determinations must be established to permit the applicant, eligible, or employee to pursue a complaint determined to be other than a discrimination complaint through other appropriate grievance procedures in accordance with the time limits of those procedures. Complaint procedures must also provide for a final written answer within 60 days after a formal complaint is filed. Disposition of complaints must be filed with the commissioner within 30 days of final determination.
