Synopsis Respondent submitted Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law on February 6, 2025, which was the deadline for submissions. Grievant did not submit Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, nor did he request an extension of the deadline.  At the level three hearing, Grievant failed to prove that Respondent acted arbitrarily or capriciously in establishing its recruitment and retention pay differential and in declining to provide the same incentive to Grievant. Accordingly, the grievance is DENIED.
