EMC denies hearings for two workspace grievances, cites agency authority over office location
Summary
Two consolidated grievances (10401 and 10402) about office assignments were denied for hearing after the committee concluded agencies have discretion to manage office locations under NRS 284.020(2).
The Employee‑Management Committee voted Oct. 17 to deny hearings for grievances 10401 and 10402, which raised complaints about workplace assignments and office location. Members and counsel cited NRS 284.020(2), saying agencies have the authority to manage their business affairs, including office location decisions.
Committee member Doug Fromm moved to deny the grievances referencing NRS 284.020(2); Nora Johnson offered a standardized motion phrasing for the record. Sandie Geyer noted some confidentiality and building‑relocation context (an agency relocation was underway) but the committee concluded the substance of office assignment decisions generally falls to the agency and not the EMC. The motions to deny hearings carried on committee votes.
