Your arbitration hearing will result in a decision (arbitration award) issued by the arbitrator(s) within 30 days of the hearing. The arbitration award will be final and binding on both you and your attorney, unless either of you seeks a trial de novo within 30 days.
An appeal must be filed within 30 calendar days of the effective date of the action, if any, or within 30 calendar days after the date of receipt of the agency's decision, whichever is later. If the 30th day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, the filing deadline is extended to the next working day. If you and the agency mutually agree in writing to submit your dispute to an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process, the 30-day filing time limit is automatically extended to 60 days.
