Synopsis Grievant was employed by Respondent as a Correctional Officer V. Grievant was selected for promotion through a competitive promotional process. Respondent inadvertently delayed promoting his position to Correctional Officer VI. Respondent admits that a mistake was made causing Grievant to work in the higher classification for a period without the commensurate salary increase. Respondent admits that Grievant is owed the additional compensation he would have received if he had been paid at the proper rate when she began working as a Correctional Officer VI. Accordingly, this grievance is GRANTED.
