Synopsis Grievant is employed by General Services Division as a Facilities/Equipment Maintenance Technician. Grievant grieves General Services Division’s initial failure to seek a discretionary pay increase for Grievant for salary inequity when it did so for other employees. Grievant further grieves the Division of Personnel’s later denial of a discretionary pay increase when Respondent General Services Division sought the same for Grievant. Grievant failed to prove he was entitled to a discretionary increase or that Respondents’ actions were arbitrary and capricious. Accordingly, the grievance is denied.
