FEE AND EXPENSE PRACTICE:

$1300 per diem for grievance arbitration hearing, preparation, travel**

(** For interest arbitration cases, the preparation per diem is $1600)

Cancellation charges: If case is withdrawn or settled before a hearing date is set, $50; if case is cancelled more than four weeks before scheduled hearing, $100; if case is cancelled less than four weeks but more than fifteen days before scheduled hearing, $650; if case is cancelled fifteen days or less before scheduled hearing, $1300

Postponements:

A cancellation fee will be charged for each day if the case is postponed after it has been scheduled. The amount of the fee may be modified if the case is rescheduled and heard.

Expenses:

Expenses for public transportation, car rentals, lodgings, meals are billed at cost. Mileage is billed at 55 cents per mile. I try to purchase non-refundable economy class air tickets to keep down the cost. If I have purchased tickets and then have to change them because of postponement or cancellation, I bill for the change fee and the travel agent’s fee. Other expenses (e.g. secretarial, photocopying, postage, telephone) are normally included in the per diem charges, unless they are excessive.

Please note: If you wish to have an “official record” of the proceeding, you must arrange for a neutral reporter. I make notes to supplement my recollection, but these notes do not constitute the “official record” and are not available to the parties under any circumstances. These notes are discarded once my jurisdiction has expired.

NOTE: The arbitrator shall not charge any fee other than the above stated fees.
