Section 19:12-5.3 - Appointment of an arbitrator

Upon receipt of a written request pursuant to N.J.A.C. 19:12-5.2, Request for submission of panel, the Director of Arbitration shall submit simultaneously to each party a copy of such request and an identical list of names of at least five persons chosen from the Arbitration Panel. Each party shall have 10 days in which to cross off any names to which it objects, number the remaining names in order of preference, and return the list to the Director of Arbitration. Such responses shall be submitted by email to: grievance@perc.state.nj.us . If a party does not return the list within the time specified, all arbitrators named shall be deemed acceptable. The Director of Arbitration shall appoint an arbitrator giving recognition to the parties' preferences. If the parties' preferences do not result in agreement upon any of the persons named, the Director of Arbitration shall submit a second list and the procedures set forth above shall be repeated, except that each party shall number at least three names in order of preference. If the arbitrator appointed pursuant to this section declines or is unable to serve, the Director of Arbitration shall have the power to appoint an arbitrator not previously rejected by any party, without submission of any additional list. If the parties have agreed upon a method of appointment different from that set forth above, such method shall be followed. Action of the Director of Arbitration pursuant to this section shall not be reviewable by the Commission.
