VIII. Billing
by Part-Time Hearing Officers
All part-time, private sector hearing officers must send their bills for hearing services directly to the agency, with a copy to EDR. The bills are to adhere to the flat rate fee schedule established for full-time and part-time hearing officers. The fee amount covers all services and disbursements incurred in conducting an employee grievance hearing, including travel, trip, and office expenses. Grievances that are settled or concluded prior to the hearing are billed on a prorated basis-
- 10% after the appointment and opening of a file.
- 25% after the prehearing conference is scheduled.
- 50% after the prehearing conference is conducted.
- 100% after the hearing officer travels to the hearing site.
