The plaintiff, an employee of the City of Alexandria, requested that the Alexandria Civil Service Commission review his wages as an increase in the hourly wage received by certain employees resulted in him earning less than those under his supervision. The Civil Service Commission declined his request. Upon appeal to the Ninth Judicial District Court, the trial court reversed the Civil Service Commission’s determination and ordered that the plaintiff’s wages be raised by one pay step above those under his supervision. The City of Alexandria appeals. We reverse.
