What is the difference between a job description grievance and a classification grievance ?

Filing a job description grievance will challenge the contents of the position while a classification grievance deals with the assignment of points to a statement of duties and not the contents of the statement of duties.  

Job description grievances are adjudicable because they concern a provision in the collective agreement whereas classification grievances do not.  Pay is adjudicable and classifications are not.  

- Classification grievance committee decisions are final and binding.  
- Job description grievances follow the normal grievance procedure path in the collective agreement.
