In the case of Gerst v. Ohio Dept. of Transp., 2022-Ohio-86, the Tenth District Court of Appeals held that the trial court did not err in affirming a state personnel board of review’s (“Board”) order in a public employee’s administrative appeal.
Here, the employee alleged that the denial of the employee’s request for reclassification of their position within the department of transportation was an error. The Board denied the employee’s request, finding that the employee was properly classified.
The Court of Appeals reasoned that the Board properly compared the specifications of other positions with that of the duties of the employee and found substantial evidence to support its finding that the employee was properly classified. As such, the Court of Appeals found that the trial court was proper in affirming the Board’s order.
