Section 31-91-24 - Demand for arbitration services, payment of filing fee and types of cases(a) A submission or demand for arbitration services shall be submitted on a completed and signed grievance arbitration request form which shall include a general statement of the dispute and the position of the filing party. The purpose of the general statement is to provide the board with the general outline of the dispute. A demand for arbitration shall be accompanied by the twenty five (25) dollar filing fee. A confirmation letter and a copy of the request for grievance arbitration form will be forwarded to the parties involved in the case.(b) A bill for the filing fee will be sent to the non-demanding party and is due within thirty (30) days of the date of the confirmation letter. The failure of the non-demanding party to pay the twenty five (25) dollar filing fee will not delay the arbitration process. Where payment of the filing fee is not timely made, the board may seek such payment through all available legal means.(c) Except as set forth in subsection (d) and subsection (e) of this section and subsection (h) of Section 31-91-36 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, the board shall schedule cases in chronological order.(d) Priority cases are cases involving terminations, suspensions of thirty (30) days or more, or layoffs. In these cases the board requests the parties to set a mutually acceptable date as soon as possible and notify the board of such date so a hearing date can be scheduled. Where the parties do not agree on a date, the board shall assign a date.(e) Expedited cases are cases where the parties mutually request the expedited process before a panel or single arbitrator.Conn.
