Let's say you are a computer specialist for a University (in Florida) and you are a state employee. You work with five other employees. They jobs are:

Network Administrator
Testing Lab Proctor
Computer Lab Assistant
Interactive Television Coordinator
Online Video Class Coordinator

They work a specific job and some of them are higher ranking and higher paid. Let's say they all quit to find better jobs. Your boss changes your job description, stating that you will take over those jobs, which I here is legal. No change in title or pay. Other computer specialists in the same department who work exactly the same job, just in another building are not effected.

The performance appraisal allows for merit raises and advancement. But because of these extra jobs your performance appraisal is less than it was before. But the other computer specialists in the same department have high appraisals because of no added work.

Here's the question:

As a state employee in Florida is there any way I can protect my self from this inability to advance/be considered a good worker?
 
Short answer - no. Nothing in the law is going to force your employer to promote you, added duties or not.

This falls into the possibly unfair but not illegal category.
 
So what if based on because of lowered score, you can be demoted or layed off, if demotions or lay offs take place. Does anything protect a state employee against that?
