Synopsis Grievant is employed by the Department of Homeland Security as a Corrections Case Manager. Following the resignation of a Unit Manager, who supervised Grievant, she was assigned certain clerical duties that had previously been performed by the Unit Manager. These duties were intended to be divided between the two Case Managers, although Grievant volunteered to take on the bulk of those duties, in addition to her normal workload. Grievant was never assigned as the acting Unit Manager during this time and other supervisory staff members absorbed the other duties of the Unit Manager until the vacancy was filled. Grievant failed to demonstrate that she is entitled to compensation for additional duties performed under the Division of Personnel’s “Temporary Classification Upgrade Policy.” This grievance is denied.
