8 AAC 61.520. Arbitration or other proceeding

(a) An employee who files a complaint under AS 18.60.089 may also seek relief under grievance arbitration provisions in applicable collective bargaining agreements and may concurrently seek relief from other agencies, such as the National Labor Relations Board. The department's jurisdiction to investigate discrimination complaints is independent of the jurisdiction of other agencies or bodies. The department will, in its discretion, file an action in the superior court regardless of other pending proceedings.

(b) If a complainant chooses to seek other relief, the department will, in its discretion, suspend its determination and defer to the results of the other proceedings, if the rights and remedies provided in the other proceedings are substantially the same as those provided under AS 18.60.089 .
