H.O. No. 82-12

Synopsis:

In a Petition for Certification of Public Employee Representative, a Hearing Officer of the Public Employment Relations Commission recommends that an election be directed in a unit of area chairpersons employed by the Parsippany-Troy Hills Board of Education. The Hearing Officer found that area chairpersons were supervisors within the meaning of the New Jersey Employer-Employee Relations Act and were no longer appropriate for inclusion with nonsupervisory professional employees and, therefore, were required to be removed from the unit represented by the Parsippany-Troy Hills Education Association.

The Hearing Officer concluded that no established practice or prior agreement existed to otherwise justify the continued inclusion of the title in the existing unit. Moreover, the Hearing Officer found that actual and potential substantial conflict of interest exists within the current unit structure that wawrranted a separate unit for area chairpersons.

A Hearing Officer's Report and Recommendations is not a final administrative determination of the Public Employment Relations Commission. The report is submitted to the Director of Representation who reviews the Report, any exceptions thereto filed by the parties and the record, and issues a decision which may adopt, reject or modify the Hearing Officer's findings of fact and/or conclusions of law. The Director's decision is binding upon the parties unless a request for review is filed before the Commission.
