Synopsis Grievant is currently employed by the Department of Health and Human Resources in a position classified as a Health Service Worker. The position was not reallocated from a Health Service Worker Trainee to a Health Service Worker until after Grievant completed a Position Description Form that was then submitted by the Department of Health and Human Resources to the Division of Personnel for review and a classification determination. The Division of Personnel and Department of Health and Human Resources both acted in accordance with applicable policy in regard to the reallocation of the position. Grievant failed to demonstrate that any delay in processing the reallocation violated any law, rule, regulation, policy or practice applicable to his employment situation. Accordingly, this grievance is denied.
