H.E. No. 84-15
Synopsis:
A Hearing Examiner of the Public Employment Relations Commission finds that the Borough of Metuchen violated the Public Employer-Employee Relations Act when it unilaterally changed the carrier of health insurance for members of the New Jersey State PBA, Metuchen Local #60. Although the Borough maintained that the new plan was substantively equivalent to the old one, there were clear differences in benefits to subscribers between the old and new plans. Further, the administration of the new plan lacked a provision for direct payment by the insurance carrier to the provider of medical services, whereas the old plan had such a provision.
A Hearing Examiner's Recommended Report and Decision is not a final administrative determination of the Public Employment Relations Commission. The case is transferred to the Commission which reviews the Recommended Report and Decision, any exceptions thereto filed by the parties, and the record, and issues a decision which may adopt, reject or modify the Hearing Examiner's findings of fact and/or conclusion of law.
