Synopsis Respondent employs Grievant in a professional position as Central Office Administrator: Director of Special Education/Testing Coordinator. Respondent employs Calvin Davis in a service position as Supervisor of Transportation. Grievant receives significantly less in supplemental pay than Mr. Davis. Grievant contends that State code requires uniformity in supplemental pay between employees performing “like assignments and duties.” Respondent counters that uniformity requirements do not apply to a pay comparison between a professional position and a service position. Nevertheless, Respondent maintains that even if pay uniformity requirements apply here, Grievant does not perform the requisite “like assignments and duties” as Mr. Davis. Grievant did not prove that uniformity requirements apply to a supplemental pay comparison between he and Mr. Davis or that they performed “like assignments and duties.” Accordingly, the grievance is DENIED.
