5. Social Security and an NSF's payment tier for medical benefits will be addressed in a Side Letter.
GRIEVABILITY

Decisions related to the amount and timing of general range adjustments, merit adjustments, and all aspects of the non-general range adjustment provided to other academic employees are not grievable. The implementation of the amount and timing of the general range adjustments, one-time adjustments and special salary adjustments IS subject to grievance and arbitration.
