Based on Section
				  8-17-330,
				  1976 Code of Laws of South Carolina, as amended, grievances shall include
				  dismissals, suspensions, involuntary reassignments, and demotions.
				  Reclassifications, reassignments, and transfers to the same pay grade are not
				  considered grievances. Promotions are not considered grievances. However, where
				  an allegation is made that the grievant was excluded from consideration for
				  promotion to a position greater than one organizational level above his present
				  level for which he was qualified when the promotional opportunity occurred, and
				  the grievant applied or would have applied if he had known of the promotion
				  opportunity, and the Director of the Office of Human Resources determines that
				  there is any material issue of fact or conclusion to be drawn from the facts of
				  the allegation, then the promotion shall be deemed grievable. Compensation
				  shall not be deemed a proper subject for consideration except as it applies to
				  alleged inequities within a particular agency or salary decreases based on the
				  results of EPMS evaluations. A reduction in force shall be appealable by an
				  affected employee only if based on inconsistent or improper application of a
				  reduction in force policy, procedure or plan. Reclassification shall not
				  ordinarily be deemed grievable as a demotion. However, if an allegation is made
				  that a reclassification is punitive and the Director of the Office of Human
				  Resources determines there is any material issue of fact or conclusion to be
				  drawn from the facts of the allegation, then the reclassification shall be
				  deemed grievable.
