As required by Civil Service Commission Rule 6-9, I have established the following timetable for primary negotiations and impasse resolution:

Period for impasse panel hearings.

To reduce administrative burdens for the parties, an electronic filing option will be offered to the parties. A party may continue under the previous system with multiple paper and electronic copies in clean and legislative formats. Alternatively, a party may elect to submit all proposals electronically in track-changes format in a single Microsoft Word document. If electronic filing is selected, physical copies will only be required for hearing exhibits. Please contact John Gnodtke at (517) 373-2611 with any questions on electronic filing. Additional guidance will be provided to the parties as filing deadlines approach. |
