Synopsis At the time this grievance was filed, Grievant was employed by Respondent as a Health Facilities Surveyor 1. Grievant protests the Division of Personnel’s decision to reallocate the position he occupies to Building and Grounds Manager and asserts the position should remain classified as Health Facilities Surveyor 1. Grievant failed to prove the Division of Personnel’s decision to reallocate the position he occupies was arbitrary and capricious or that the classification he seeks is the best fit for the position. Accordingly, the grievance is denied.
