UFT, 11 OCB2d 11 (BCB 2018)
In UFT, 7 OCB2d 12 (BCB 2014), the Board found that the City’s implementation of a weekly cap on Hearing Officers’ work hours violated NYCCBL § 12-306(a)(1), (4), and (5). In this interim order, the Board adopted eligibility criteria to determine which Hearing Officers suffered a loss as a result of the improper practice and a backpay formula to reasonably approximate the hours they would have worked but for the violation of the NYCCBL. The Board also ordered further proceedings to allow the parties to present additional evidence regarding potential exceptions to the eligibility criteria and the calculation of net backpay.
