Rule 1-407 Deadlines; waiver by consent.

This rule is simple. If you have a deadline to meet during the disability grievance process, that deadline can be changed. But both sides have to agree to it, and the agreement has to be in writing.

This gives people some flexibility. If someone needs more time to respond or take the next step, they don't have to be stuck with a deadline that doesn't work for them. As long as everyone involved agrees in writing, the timeline can be adjusted to fit the situation.

The key thing to remember is that one side can't just decide to ignore a deadline on their own. Both people or parties involved need to sign off on the change before it becomes official.
