SCHEDULE OF LABOR ARBITRATION CHARGES

FEE RATE
My fee rate for labor arbitration is $ 1500.00 per day. I will apply the fee rate to time spent in pre- or post-hearing matters except scheduling. For fee rate purposes, a day is seven hours. I will charge a minimum of one day for a hearing. For other purposes, I will apply the fee rate on a pro rata basis.

CANCELLATION
I will charge a cancellation fee equal to 1 day per diem times the number of days reserved for the arbitration for any case cancelled within 3 calendar weeks of the scheduled start of the arbitration hearing. For example, if a case is scheduled to be heard beginning at 9:00 a.m. on a Tuesday, the cancellation fee will be charged if I am notified of the cancellation any time after 9:00 a.m. on the Tuesday 3 weeks prior to the scheduled date. I will not charge a cancellation fee for the first postponement of a case if the case is rescheduled within a reasonable time. However, if the case is not rescheduled within a reasonable time, I will charge the cancellation fee. In addition, I will charge the cancellation if the case is rescheduled and later cancelled regardless of the time between the cancellation and the rescheduled date.

EXPENSES
Transportation:
(1) I will charge travel in my own car at the IRS rate for business mileage effective on the date of travel (72.5 cents per mile effective January 1, 2026).

(2) I will charge for other transportation at cost.

(3) Where air travel is appropriate, I will purchase a non-refundable ticket. In the event of a cancellation or postponement within 3 calendar weeks of the scheduled start of a hearing, I will charge the parties whatever penalty or fee is imposed on me by the airline, hotel or car rental agency. Alternatively, the parties may affirmatively ask me to purchase fully refundable tickets.

I will charge for meals and lodging at cost, except when a government contract requires a different formula.

I will not charge for duplication or first class mailing of the Opinion and Award. I will charge for the cost of expedited delivery other than by email, however.

I will mail or email an original and one copy of the invoice for fees and expenses incurred with the Opinion and Award.

Those organizations reporting money paid to me to the Internal Revenue Service should show my Federal Employer Identification Number: 33-3378826.

I will be pleased to answer any questions regarding my fees.
