Common use of Decisions of the Arbitrator Clause in Contracts

Decisions of the Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall render his/her decision as quickly as possible, but in any event, no later than forty-five (45) days after the conclusion of the hearing, or submission of the closing briefs, unless the parties agree otherwise. The arbitrator shall submit an account for the fees and expenses of arbitration. The arbitrator’s decision shall be submitted in writing and shall set forth the findings and conclusions with respect to the issue submitted to arbitration. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding upon the Employer, the State of Ohio, Unit 2 Association and the employee(s) involved, provided such decisions conform with the Law of Ohio and do not exceed the jurisdiction or authority of the arbitrator as set forth in this Article. The grievance procedure shall be the exclusive method for resolving grievances. The parties may request that the arbitrator, on a case by case basis, retain jurisdiction of a specific case. In that the parties are using a permanent arbitrator, questions of clarifications of awards will normally be submitted to that arbitrator without the necessity of a further grievance or action. This statement, however, does not limit the ability of either party to exercise any other legal options they may possess.
