Arbitration Standards Sample Clauses

Arbitration Standards. The arbitrator shall have no power to alter, amend, change, add to, or subtract from any of the terms of this Agreement, but shall determine only whether or not there has been a violation of this Agreement as complained of by the grievant. The decision of the arbitrator shall be based solely upon the evidence and arguments presented her/him by the respective parties in the presence of each other, and upon post-hearing briefs of the parties. However, the arbitrator may also make judicial notice of a matter of fact or law that is authorized for judicial notice by the statutory or decisional law of the State of California or of the United States. This Agreement constitutes a contract between the parties which shall be interpreted and applied by the parties and the arbitrator in the same manner as any other contract under the laws of the State of California. The function and purpose of the arbitrator is to determine disputed interpretation of terms actually found in the Agreement, or to determine disputed facts upon which the application of the Agreement depends. The arbitrator shall, therefore, not have authority, nor shall he/she consider it his or her function to decide any issue not properly before him/her or to interpret or apply the Agreement so as to change what can fairly be said to have been the intent of the parties as determined by generally accepted rules of contract construction. Past practice of the parties may be presented and considered as relevant evidence in interpreting or applying terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall not render any decision or award, or fail to render any decision or award, merely because in his/her opinion such decision or award is fair or equitable. No decision or award rendered by the arbitrator shall be retroactive beyond the beginning of the period specified in Step One of the grievance procedure set forth in this Article or the occurrence of the act or omission of an act giving rise to the grievance.

Arbitration Standards. The Arbitrator shall have no power to alter, amend, change, add to, or subtract from any of the terms of this Agreement, but shall determine only whether or not there has been a violation of this Agreement and if a violation is found, the remedy. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be based solely upon the evidence and arguments presented to him/her by the respective parties in the presence of each other, and upon post-hearing briefs of the parties. This Agreement constitutes a contract between the parties which shall be interpreted and applied by the parties and by the Arbitrator in the same manner as any other contract under the laws of the State of California. The function and purpose of the Arbitrator is to determine disputed of terms actually found in the Agreement, or to determine disputed facts upon which the application of the Agreement depends. The Arbitrator shall therefore not have authority, nor shall he/she consider it his/her function to decide any issue not submitted or to so interpret or apply the Agreement as to change what can fairly be said to have been the intent of the parties as determined by generally accepted rules of contract construction. Past practice of the parties in interpreting or applying terms of this Agreement may be relevant evidence, but shall not be used so as to justify, or result in, what is in effect a modification (whether by addition or detraction) of the written terms of this Agreement. The Arbitrator shall not render any decision or award, or fail to render any decision or award, merely because in his/her opinion such decision or award is “fair” or “equitable.” No decision rendered by the Arbitrator shall be retroactive beyond the beginning of the last payroll period prior to the twenty-day period specified in Level I of the grievance procedure. The Arbitrator shall have no power to render an award on any grievance occurring before or after the term of this Agreement. Processing and discussing the merits of an asserted grievance shall not constitute a waiver by the District of a defense that the dispute is not grievable. The Arbitrator may hear and determine only one grievance at a time unless the Association and the District expressly agree otherwise. However, both parties will in good faith endeavor to handle in an expeditious and convenient manner cases which involve the same or similar facts and issues.
Arbitration Standards. The Arbitration Panel shall use the Xxxxxx Proposal as the framework for its decision.
