TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE BUDGET AND CONTROL BOARD, RELATING TO STATE EMPLOYEE GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE RULES, DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 1828, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 1, CHAPTER 23, TITLE 1 OF THE 1976 CODE.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The regulations of the Budget and Control Board, relating to State Employee Grievance Committee Rules, designated as Regulation Document Number 1828, and submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the 1976 Code, are approved.
SECTION 2. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.
19-706. Grievances and Appeals and 19-775. State Employee Grievance Committee Rules. These regulations set forth the rules and procedures for the administration of the State Employee Grievance Process. Amendments are necessary to comply with recent statutory changes, to allow for a more efficient administration of the grievance process and for clarification purposes. Statutory changes include: not allowing reclassifications, reassignments, and transfers to the same pay grade to be grievable; making salary decreases based on the results of Employee Performance Management System evaluations to be grievable; and only allowing lack of consideration for a promotion to be grievable if the employee was qualified and applied for a position that was greater than one organizational level above the successful candidate's present level. Changes to allow for a more efficient administration of the grievance process include: giving the State Personnel Director final approval of the amount of reinstatement pay due to an employee; and requiring documents to be submitted fifteen days prior to the hearing to allow for proper review by the opposing party before they are forwarded to the State Employee Grievance Committee. In addition, the documents submitted by both parties to the State Employee Grievance Committee will now only constitute the record on appeal from the agency's internal grievance procedure rather than being marked into evidence. Other changes are sought for clarification purposes, such as the name change from the Division of Human Resource Management to the Office of Human Resources.
