9-31:      Promotion and re-promotion                  

• Employee who was promoted at salary step 1 after the withdrawal of an offer of pay at step 7 suffered no harm under any career service rule, ordinance or charter provision, and therefore appeal based on withdrawal of the initial offer was dismissed.  In re Mallard, CSA 129-05, 3 (2/23/06) (decided under former §9-61).
