Bill > SB01037

This bill increases the per diem rates for members of two state labor-related boards: the Connecticut State Board of Labor Relations and the Board of Mediation and Arbitration. Specifically, for the State Board of Labor Relations, the daily compensation for board members will increase from $150 to $300 for each day they are engaged in board duties. For the Board of Mediation and Arbitration, the compensation changes include raising the payment for panel members from $325 to $500 for proceedings, with an additional increase for written decision preparation from $500 to $1,000. For executive panel sessions, member compensation will increase from $200 to $300. These changes are set to take effect on October 1, 2025, and aim to provide more appropriate compensation for board members who contribute their time and expertise to resolving labor-related disputes and making important decisions in the state's labor relations processes. The bill maintains the existing structure and responsibilities of these boards while adjusting their compensation to potentially attract and retain qualified members.
