Synopsis
|
Grievants allege that they are regular full time service employees and should have been selected over the successful applicant who was a professional employees. This board has held that while the most senior applicant(s) must be considered before other applicants, a BOE is not required to fill a position by an applicant who does not possess the required skills. Each of the grs admitted that they had no mechanical expertise which was essential to the needs of the BOE and part of the job description. Grievance denied: the BOE did not act arbitrarily or capriciously in screening all the applicants and interviewing only those applicants who revealed on their applications and resumes that they possessed the necessary expertise required by the job posting and description.
