Synopsis Grievant seeks payment for travel expenses which have not be paid for more than thirty days after he submitted them for reimbursement. He also seeks that all travel expense requests to be entered in the VISTA system operated by the State Auditor’s office within three days of submission so that Grievant can track the payments. Respondent repaid all amounts owed to Grievant for travel expenses by the day after the filing of the grievance and has no control of the operation of VISTA posting times controlled by the Auditor’s office. Accordingly, there is no remaining remedy which can be granted, and this grievance must be dismissed as moot.
