Audrey Payton, a Fulton County employee with a salary grievance, filed an application for discretionary appeal of a superior court order that vacated an arbitration award in her favor. Because there is nothing in the trial court’s order that allows us to determine on what grounds the trial court granted the petition to vacate the arbitration award, we vacate the order and remand the case to the trial court for proper consideration of Payton’s petition to confirm the award.

The record shows that Payton worked as a deputy sergeant in the internal affairs division of the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office. Her base salary was approximately $46,000 per year, and she also received $8,866 per year in parity pay. Parity pay, implemented by the County in 2001, is meant to ensure that law enforcement employees working in jobs with similar responsibility and/or risk levels in different agencies receive the same pay.
