Chapter 150C. Arbitrators will be instructed to issue a decision within thirty (30) days of receipt of the parties post-hearing brief or oral argument. All fees and expenses of the arbitrator, if any, which may be involved in an arbitration proceeding shall be divided equally between ▇▇▇▇▇ and HRD. Each party shall bear the cost of preparing and presenting its own case. If a decision satisfactory to ▇▇▇▇▇ at any level of the grievance procedure other than Step IV is not implemented within a reasonable time, ▇▇▇▇▇ may reinstitute the original grievance at the next step of the grievance procedure. A resolution of a grievance at either Step I or II shall not constitute a precedent. If the Employer exceeds any time limit prescribed at any step in the grievance procedure, the grievant and/or ▇▇▇▇▇ may assume that the grievance is denied and invoke the next step of the procedure, except, however, that only ▇▇▇▇▇ may request impartial arbitration under Step IV. However, no deadline shall be binding on the grievant and/or ▇▇▇▇▇ until a required response is given. Any step or steps in the grievance procedure, as well as time limits prescribed at each step of this grievance procedure, may be waived by mutual agreement of the parties in writing. Each department/agency head shall designate a person(s) to whom grievances may be submitted at Step I and/or Step II. A MOSES representative or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, whichever is appropriate, shall be notified of grievances filed by an employee on his/her own behalf and shall have the opportunity to be present at grievance meetings between the employee and the Employer held in accordance with the grievance procedure. It is agreed that grievances may be filed by ▇▇▇▇▇ electronically, either by facsimile or by email as a scanned attachment.
