Grievance Information Detail
Grievance modified. The Arbitrator found that while the grievant's tax preparer made the error in the initial tax filing, the grievant did not take sufficient steps to ensure that the preparer remedied the problem. Although the grievant, as an employee of the Department of Taxation, is held to a higher scrutiny when filing her taxes, the grievant's actions did not constitute a "major" neglect of duty. A written warning was sufficient.
