Synopsis Grievant is employed by Respondent DHHR within the Bureau for Child Support Enforcement as a part-time Child Support Supervisor 1. Respondent Division of Personnel reallocated Grievant’s position to a Child Support Specialist 2. Grievant asserts the position should remain classified as a Child Support Supervisor 1 or should be reallocated to a Child Support Specialist 3. Grievant failed to prove the classifications she sought were the best fit or that Respondent Division of Personnel’s reallocation of her position was arbitrary and capricious. Accordingly, the grievance is denied.
