Intermediate Court of Appeals
Circuit Court Grievant appealed to Kanawha County 4/30/18 , Civil Action #18-AA-208 (Webster)
Supreme Court
Synopsis Grievant was not an employee of Respondent at the time he filed this grievance. As such, Grievant lacks standing to pursue a grievance against Respondent. Further, to the extent that Grievant is seeking an order from the Grievance Board compelling Respondent, PEIA, or the Consolidated Public Retirement Board to allow him to use his accrued sick leave to pay his insurance premium, such relief is wholly unavailable through the grievance procedure. Accordingly, this grievance is dismissed.
