Synopsis
|
THE PRACTICE OF GRANTING SUPPLEMENTAL PAY TO SPEECH THERAPISTS WAS DISCONTINUED IN 1975 FOR NEW EMPLOYEES BUT CONTINUED FOR EMPLOYEES HIRED BEFORE THAT TIME. SUPPLEMENTAL PAY WAS GRANTED TO GRIEVANTS AT THE LEVEL III HEARING BUT THE ISSUE OF BACK PAY WAS DENIED. 'A LACK OF DILIGENCE WHEN SEEKING TO CHALLENGE A MATTER REGARDING AN EXPENDITURE OF PUBLIC FUNDS CONSTITUTES LACHES.' THE GRIEVANTS FAILED TO EXERCISE DILIGENCE IN RESOLVING THIS MANNER FOR AS LONG AS TEN YEARS AND RELIED UPON THE ASSERTION OF THE ADMINISTRATION THAT THEY WERE NOT ENTITLED TO THE SUPPLEMENT.
