The Supreme Court Personnel Board has final authority to determine whether or not an issue is grievable and may elect to hear any issue at its discretion. Issues determined to be nongrievable are subject to summary dismissal by the board. The identification of nongrievable issues is not intended to sanction mistakes or unfair management practices.

  The following issues, when done in compliance with established law, rule or policy, are examples of nongrievable matters. The list below is not to be considered all inclusive:

  1. appointments and initial hiring selections;                                                            

  2. involuntary transfers with no salary reduction or relocation required; 

  3. leave of absence, decisions regarding grants of maternity/paternity leave donations, and determination of eligibility for use of the catastrophic illness donation programs;

  4. position classification determinations;

  6. furloughs and layoffs due to elimination or reduction of funds, reduction in the workload, and/or reorganization; and
