Synopsis
|
Grievant filed her grievance against Respondent protesting the DOP’s determination that Grievant is permanently ineligible for re-employment with the Bureau for Public Health. Grievant was not a state employee at the time she filed her grievance and therefore cannot meet the definition of a state employee pursuant to W. VA. CODE § 6C-2-2(e)(1). The grievance process is only available to state employees. DOP’s decision relating to Grievant’s application for employment with a state agency that is not her employer is not a grievable event. The Grievance Board lacks jurisdiction in this matter. Accordingly, the grievance must be dismissed.
