Synopsis Grievant was employed by Respondent as a permanent, part-time toll collector. Grievant was an at will employee. Respondent terminated Grievant’s employment asserting that Grievant could not meet the essential functions of her position. Grievant challenged her dismissal, arguing that Respondent “waived the right to require [her] to comply with the job description requirements.” Grievant did not assert that Respondent’s motivation in discharging her contravened any substantial public policy. Therefore, this grievance is DENIED.
