In plain language
Thirty days from the day the grievant becomes aware of the alleged violation. That is the whole filing window, and it runs from awareness rather than from the event itself. The grievance goes to the designated ADA coordinator identified in 4A:1-5.4, and it may be spoken rather than written, which is a real difference from appeals to the Commission: 4A:2-1.1 requires those to be in writing and signed. One diversion is built in. Where the allegation is employment discrimination, the grievance is processed under the Commission rules at N.J.A.C. 4A:7 if those rules apply, not under this subchapter.
