FPSLREB Decisions

The grievor grieved that the office administrator job description, classified at the AS-02 group and level, was not a complete and current statement of the duties and responsibilities of that position – he did not identify or describe the tasks and responsibilities that he performed that were within his AS-02 job description; nor did he describe the ones that were not accurately described in it – the thrust of his evidence was that a large number of the tasks and responsibilities that he performed were outlined in the job description for a chief, administrative services, AS-03 position – the Board was not persuaded that the grievor satisfied his onus of establishing that the AS-02 office administrator position job description was not a complete and current statement of the duties and responsibilities of his position – first, by focussing on the AS-03 job description, he failed to provide the evidence necessary to establish that the existing AS-02 job description did not provide a complete and current statement of the duties and responsibilities of his office administrator job – second, it was not enough for him to simply allege that he performed tasks and responsibilities described in the AS-03 job description without detailed evidence to support his claim – third, there was an inherent indeterminacy in the descriptions of the tasks and responsibilities in the job descriptions – the fact that one job description contained task descriptions similar to another higher-level job description did not mean that the two were the same or that the AS-02 job description was inadequate – fourth, if the grievor assumed tasks because he enjoyed being a helpful and valued employee, without being ordered to, then it could not be said that his job description was inadequate.

Grievance denied.
