Synopsis Grievant is employed by the Division of Highways as an Office Assistant 3 (OA3). Grievant asserts her position should be reallocated to an Office Assistant Coordinator (OAC) because her supervision duties meet the OAC classification specification of “lead worker.” Yet, the classification specifications for OA3 also list “lead worker.” Grievant failed to prove that the best fit for her position is an OAC, as her predominant duties are more aligned with an OA3. Accordingly, the grievance is DENIED.
