Impasse Procedures Sample Clauses

The Impasse Procedures clause outlines the steps parties must follow when they reach a deadlock or cannot resolve a dispute through normal negotiation. Typically, this clause specifies escalation mechanisms such as involving higher-level management, engaging in mediation, or seeking third-party arbitration if initial discussions fail. Its core function is to provide a structured process for resolving disagreements, thereby minimizing prolonged conflict and ensuring that unresolved issues do not halt the overall progress of the agreement.

Seven (7) days after receipt of the parties’ offers, the IELRB will make the offers public. 5. The costs of any third party mutually agreed upon shall be shared equally by the parties.
