Circuit Court Grievants appealed to Kanawha County Circuit Court 9/21/18 CA# 18-AA-238 (Salango); Affirmed, 3/18/19
Supreme Court
Synopsis Grievants allege that the discretionary pay raise, they received on April 15, 2017, should have become effective on October 15, 2015, the day that a discretionary raise for new employees became effective. Grievants seek back pay for the period between the time the two raises became effective. Grievants provided no evidence, law, rule, regulation, or policy which requires Respondents to provide back pay to Grievants for a discretionary raise they received effective April 15, 2017.
