| Synopsis | Grievant is employed by Respondent as the Director of Maintenance. Grievant alleges that Respondent is exhibiting favoritism towards its Transportation Director and that it uses a more favorable compensation formula to determine that employee’s salary, thereby treating Grievant unfairly. Grievant alleges that Respondent’s compensation formula violates the uniformity provisions of W. Va. Code § 18A-4-5. Grievant has not proven that Respondent compensates its directors in a non-uniform manner or that he has suffered any harm as a result of Respondent’s conduct. Therefore, this grievance is denied. |
