Synopsis Grievant challenged the DOP decision that she was not entitled to back pay when the position she previously held was reallocated from an ERS 1 to an ERS 2. Grievant did not have standing to file a grievance regarding the reallocation of the ERS 1 position because she was not in that position when the reallocation decision was made. Additionally, Grievant did not prove specific facts relate to when the ERS 1 might have been reallocated rendering any award of backpay as too speculative to grant.
