This Step 4 Settlement Agreement involved whether the grievant was improperly passed over for a Level 8 promotion. In this case, the grievant had been selected for a Level 9 position pending qualification. When a Level 8 position became available, the employee, who was on both the Level 8 and 9 PER's was passed over for the Level 8 because he had been selected for the Level 9. The parties agreed to remand the case to Step 3 based on their mutual understanding that the employee was properly given the first promotional opportunity that became available. Further, if the Level 8 was available when he failed to qualify for the Level 9, he should have been promoted to the Level 8 if he was qualified for selection, and if the employee was not qualified or there was no vacant Level 8 available, the employee should have remained a Level 7.
