| THE
ISSUES: | Some
of the questions addressed: - For
what elements of loss will an arbitrator compensate an unjustly discharged grievor?
(Wages and benefits, lost overtime opportunities, commissions, bonuses, job search
expenses, etc.)
- What
conditions on reinstatement may arbitrators impose? (attendance requirements,
medical treatment, apologies)
- Can
an arbitrator order that an unjustly terminated grievor be compensated in lieu
of reinstatement?
- When
will such an order be made and how is appropriate compensation calculated?
- Will
arbitrators increase the amount of compensation provided to terminated employees
in order to compensate for a bad faith discharge? (i.e., a 'Wallace' bump)?
- What
is meant by "grossing up" and when will it be ordered?
- When
will interest be ordered and how is it calculated?
