Emergency Pay Grievance Update: September 22nd 2020
Below is a list of the most recent status for each agencies Emergency Pay Grievance. It’s important to note that while the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has resumed enforcing timelines, the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) continues to toll and hold timelines for grievances.
Over 4,000 members joined this grievance making it the largest case ever filed against the State of Maryland. At each step, DBM has tried to invalidate the case on the basis of forms being filled out and dates. To date, they have not addressed the core issue of the grievance: that our MOU has clear language outlining the required conditions to receive emergency pay. Review our MOU on our website!
