Synopsis Grievant is employed as a full-time bus driver by Respondent, Lewis County Board of Education. Grievant stepped-up to an extracurricular run in the absence of the regular driver. Grievant chose to leave the step-up placement for a more lucrative one-time run and was barred from resuming the step-up run. Lewis County Transportation Department Practices and Procedures states that a step-up driver must remain in the step-up position for the duration of the regular driver’s absence. Grievant contends that Respondent allows drivers to take more lucrative runs and still return to their step-up runs. He claims Code gives him the right to return to the step-up run. Grievant did not prove Respondent acted improperly in enforcing its written policy. Accordingly, this grievance is DENIED.
