Synopsis Grievant applied for a promotion from a Secretary 1 position to a Secretary 2 position with a 9.5% salary increase. Grievant began working in the Secretary 2 classification but her salary was not increased until a month after she assumed the position and performed the duties required in the higher classification. Respondent admits that a mistake was made causing Grievant to work in the higher classification for a month without the commensurate salary increase. Respondent admits that Grievant is owed the additional compensation she would have received if she had been paid at the proper rate when she began working as a Secretary 2.
