Whether the employee could rely on good faith to retain the initial B-level salary reduction after the State corrected the job classification to 10C.
The good-faith argument failed because the employee did not show that he had taken irreversible steps in reliance on the initial classification.
Even assuming the initial avenant could be viewed as an assurance, protection of trust requires concrete reliance and disadvantage. The employee neither proved nor alleged such reliance. The State's correction of an erroneous job classification was therefore permissible.
