Grievance regarding salary compression dismissed as the Board lacks jurisdiction to rectify management compensation levels.
The grievor, a shift supervisor, filed a grievance alleging that a subordinate bargaining unit employee was paid at a higher hourly rate due to salary compression.
The employer objected to the Board's jurisdiction, arguing that setting compensation levels for management personnel is the exclusive function of the Civil Service Commission.
The Public Service Grievance Board found that while it has jurisdiction to hear complaints regarding working conditions and terms of employment, it lacks the authority to rectify salary relationships or review the adequacy of the management compensation plan.
The grievance was dismissed as inarbitrable.
