Arbitrators Should Not Deduct Unemployment Benefits
Herman Gray of New York University argues in Arbitration Journal that back pay awards should not offset unemployment compensation. He notes the state, not the employer, pays benefits and that courts and the NLRB prohibit such deductions. Arbitrators lack authority to enforce unwarranted enrichment limits and should refrain from tax or benefit actions.
