Synopsis Grievant is employed by Respondent as a Transportation Services Manager 1. Grievant protests her non-selection for a merit increase. Grievant asserts Respondent failed to disseminate or adhere to its own guidelines regarding the merit increases and that the distribution of merit increases was arbitrary and capricious. Grievant failed to prove Respondent’s decision not to grant Grievant a merit increase violated any law, rule, policy, or procedure or that it was otherwise arbitrary and capricious. Accordingly, the grievance is denied.
