HAR §8-52-7. Appeal of action

(a) Any classification or pricing action by the department on an educational officer position, whether to change a position classification or not, is appealable to board. A classification appeal may be submitted by the incumbent educational officer, or immediate supervisor if the subject position is vacant. A pricing appeal may be submitted by the incumbent educational officer, the exclusive representative, or the department. All petitions for appeal shall be filed with the board within twenty (20) days from the date set by the board for receipt of these appeals. (b) The appeal shall be submitted on the form prescribed setting forth the basis for the disagreement with the action taken with reference to the work of the position and the relevant class or classes of work. In no case shall an appeal be filed based on work not officially documented on the position description. (c) An appeal shall clearly state the remedy sought and meet all other requirements specified. (d) An appellant may be represented by the exclusive bargaining agent or other representative authorized by the appellant. (e) The appeal of classification action shall take precedence over a pricing appeal by the same appellant. A disagreement on the classification of a position shall be resolved prior to any consideration of the pricing of the subject class. [Eff. NOV 28, 1988] (Auth: HRS §302A-620) (Imp: HRS §302A-620)
