Synopsis The parties agree that Grievant was temporarily upgraded into an advanced job classification for a specific time period. Grievant argues that he should have been paid an additional seven percent while he was serving in the advanced classification, which is the amount of increase he would have received if he applied for and was selected for the position. Respondent believes it is limited to pay Grievant an additional five percent while serving in the advanced classification by the Division of Personal rules. Grievant did not prove that he was entitled to a seven percent increase. The grievance is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part.
