Escalation Process

Purpose: 

The purpose of this escalation policy is to establish a clear procedure for handling unresolved issues or concerns that require escalating to higher levels of authority within the organization. 

 

Procedure: 

 

1. Call/Contact to Program Specialist: 

   – When a call or contact is made to the Program Specialist, the expected response time is within 48 business hours. 

   – If the Program Specialist does not respond within the specified timeframe, the issue should be escalated to the RHSP Manager. 

 

2. Call/Contact to RHSP Manager: 

   – If the Program Specialist does not respond within 48 business hours, the issue should be escalated to the RHSP Manager. 

   – The expected response time for the RHSP Manager is within 24 business hours. 

   – If the RHSP Manager does not respond within the specified timeframe, the issue should be escalated to the Director of Operations – Audit & Compliance. 

 

3. Call/Contact to Director of Operations – Audit & Compliance: 

   – If the RHSP Manager does not respond within 24 business hours, the issue should be escalated to the Director of Operations – Audit & Compliance. 

   – The expected response time for the Director of Operations – Audit & Compliance is within a reasonable timeframe based on the urgency and nature of the issue. 

   – If the Director of Operations – Audit & Compliance does not respond or the issue remains unresolved, the final escalation step is to contact the Executive Director. 

 

4. Call/Contact to Executive Director: 

   – If the Director of Operations – Audit & Compliance does not respond or the issue remains unresolved, the Executive Director should be contacted. 

   – The Executive Director will review the escalated issue and take appropriate action to address and resolve the matter. 

 

Note: 

It is important to document each step of the escalation process, including dates, times, and individuals contacted. This will ensure a clear record of the issue and the actions taken to resolve it. 

 

Effective communication and timely response are crucial at each level of escalation to ensure prompt resolution of issues and maintain a high level of customer service and satisfaction. 

 

This escalation policy is designed to provide a structured approach for resolving concerns and maintaining accountability within CLIHTF.
