In plain language
An acknowledgment is required, and it has to carry a date. On receiving a grievance the coordinator must tell the grievant it arrived, that an investigation has started, and by when the investigation is expected to be finished. The coordinator then investigates, prepares a report, and passes it to the designated decision maker, who renders the written decision and transmits it to the grievant or to the alternate contact person if one was designated. Both the target date and the decision carry the same 45 day limit measured from receipt of the grievance, and both carry the same two qualifiers: if practicable, or unless the grievant agrees to a later date. Those qualifiers are in the rule text, which makes 45 days a target rather than a hard bar.
