The Commonwealth Court has reinstated an arbitration award requiring Lackawanna County to resume its past practice of providing to certain Court of Common Pleas employees an additional paid day off that is not specifically mentioned in the parties' collective bargaining agreement.
The county discontinued the gift day policy, which provided a paid day off on either Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve to members of the Lackawanna County Adult and Juvenile Probation and Domestic Relations Section Employees Association, in 2015 on the advice of its labor counsel. But the association filed a grievance, which an arbitrator granted, finding that the gift day policy was an established past practice that had become part of the parties' CBA and therefore must be resumed.
