8 AAC 97.230. Investigation and informal resolution

(a) The labor relations agency will investigate the facts and circumstances surrounding a complaint or accusation filed under 8 AAC 97.220, including whether grievance arbitration procedures as required under AS 23.40.210 and AS 42.40.860 , if applicable, have been exhausted. The complainant's failure to provide information within the time frames specified by the agency during the investigation may result in the dismissal of the complaint or accusation.

(b) If the agency makes a preliminary finding that probable cause exists to support the complaint or accusation, the agency will attempt to resolve the dispute through the use of conference, conciliation, and persuasion. Unless the parties agree to a longer period, the agency will spend no more than 21 days attempting to achieve informal resolution.
