Worker's compensation manager classification appeal
Summary
The city's workers' comp and safety manager appealed a downgrade in her position's classification, arguing the DER director targeted her personally. The board denied the appeal after a full hearing, meaning her job stays in the lower pay range — though still an increase from before. The case highlighted tension over how the city classifies and pays managers.
