Grievance Tracking Requirements Worksheet

Map the grievance records, deadlines, files, permissions, and reports your reps need before comparing tools.

Grievance tracking works best when the tool matches the way reps and staff handle cases.

Use this worksheet to document intake, deadlines, evidence, assignments, permissions, outcomes, and reporting before a demo.

"The Union Impact team has improved the efficiency of our Market Recovery Program (MRP) by providing automated processing tools for our contractors and business office. This web-based tool has reduced the time required to process paper requests and time cards... [their] team worked with our Local Union to provide a system specific to our business requirements. The program allows us to track the distribution of funds and helps ensure the contractors comply with the MRP's rules. The program allows us to track every dollar allocated to each contractor, project, or member. We can recommend Union Impact to any Local Union looking to do the same."

"It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Union Impact as a cloud based software provider for unions... Union Impact has helped us run a better market recovery program. The ability to do real-time tracking of job development and representative activities and the platform’s integrated nature has allowed us to free up man power that was once used on writing reports, consolidating information, and tracking jobs and contractors"

"We have used Union Impact software since January 2017, and it has been a lifesaver when trying to find members to fill labor requests... The software sends a dispatch by texting and emailing qualified members, and they can respond from their phone. I have been able to fill every call at a moment's notice. The first month using it, the program sent out 700 texts to members. Our members are happier because they are working, and our employers are happier because they have experienced workers on site. Win-Win!"

"We have been using Union Impact for quite some time and our Local couldn't be happier with all the options this system has to offer. They have created a program that is very comprehensive and useful. Their customer service department has gone to great depths to assist us with all our needs and has made several changes to accommodate us without hesitation."
Request a Focused Review

Keep the worksheet tied to real work

Use current workflows

The strongest answers come from the forms, spreadsheets, reports, files, and member requests your team handles today.

Bring real examples to the demo so the review stays grounded in daily union operations.

Route the request clearly

Choose software demo, website project, migration or replacement, managed IT support, competitor alternative, or not sure yet in the form.

That helps Union Impact route the request to the right review path after submission.

What your team should leave with

Clearer requirements

A useful tool should help your team list current workflows, missing information, ownership questions, and next actions.

That gives officers and staff a cleaner way to compare vendors, scope a project, or prepare for migration.

  • Current workflow and pain points.
  • Required forms, reports, files, and access rules.
  • Launch, migration, or support questions.
  • Recommended next step for a focused demo or review.

Better vendor conversations

The goal is not to make the checklist complicated. The goal is to make the sales call more useful.

If your union can explain what has to work on day one, the demo can focus on fit instead of generic features.

After you submit

Request routing

Your request is routed by the request type selected in the form: software demo, website project, migration or replacement, managed IT support, competitor alternative, or not sure yet.

Add short notes about your current system, current website, pain points, timeline, and the decision you need to make.

Focused follow-up

Union Impact can use the worksheet details to focus the next conversation around the right modules, website scope, migration path, support needs, or competitor comparison.

Do not paste passwords into the form. Secure access sharing should happen through a separate follow-up path.

What to watch for

Decision support

A grievance tool should protect sensitive details while still giving staff and leaders the visibility they need.

If a vendor cannot show deadlines, permissions, files, assignments, and reports in one workflow, keep asking questions.

Next step

Use the form on this page to send the request type that fits best. If you are not sure, choose not sure yet and describe the workflow you want to improve.

The most useful submissions include current tools, current pain points, required forms or reports, and the decision your team needs to make.
