Arbitrators must file Form R-19
Arbitrators on the FMCS roster must file the Arbitrator's Report and Fee Statement (FMCS Form R-19) with the agency after each decision they issue. This collects details about the arbitrator's work on a case, including fees and days spent.
FMCS will report fee and time data
FMCS will collect arbitration data (for example, median arbitrator fees and days spent on each case) using Form R-19 and include it in the Agency's annual report. FMCS says this helps monitor arbitrator performance and keeps the use of government arbitration facilities more transparent for users.
