Holding

Grievance GRANTED. Because the Grievant was not the only TPW responsible for the resident who left the premises, she could not be held solely responsible for the neglect that enabled the resident to leave. The Arbitrator also noted that the Program Specialist distracted the Grievant on two occasions, which also contributed to the cause of the incident. The Arbitrator denied the Union’s request for lost overtime opportunities because it presented insufficient evidence to support an overtime award. Because the Grievant was partially responsible for the resident’s leaving the Center grounds, the Arbitrator imposed a verbal reprimand. Arbitrator Murphy ordered that the Grievant be reinstated with full back pay, minus any interim earnings.
