Legal Question in Employment Law in District of Columbia

Final Decision

I am a Union employee, I feel that I was wrongfully terminated. I have filed for an appeal through the Collective Bargaining. An initial decision was made and it was not in my favor. I am now being offered to file a petition for an appeal. Once that decision has been made, will that become the Final decision? If yes, could there be anything else that I could do thereafter? If no, what can I do? Finally I have earned Overtime hours, but I decided to accept Comp. Leave hrs. in exchanged. Now that I have been terminated these hrs. were never paid to me. Am I entitled to payment for Comp. Leave hrs. that I have earned? What is the Statue of Limitations for Retaliation and Discrimination?

Thank you

Re: Final Decision

You will only be able to pursue the matter as far as your company and union grievance procedure allow for and then the decision will be final.

And, unless your collective bargaining

agreement with the company requires the payment of the comp time which you've accumulated, the company will be under to obligation to pay you for these hours upon your departure.

Statutes of limitation for various kinds of alleged discrimination may vary under federal and state law.
