Terms Used In 4 Guam Code Ann. § 10114

  • Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.
Agreements negotiated under the terms of this Chapter between management officials and employee organizations which have been granted exclusive recognition in appropriate public employee units may contain procedures for consideration, and final settlement of grievances, including advisory arbitration subject to approval of the appropriate management official, provided that:

(a) such procedures shall be the exclusive procedures available to public employees in the unit for settlement of individual or group grievances;

(b) the negotiated grievance procedures shall extend only to the interpretation or application of existing agreements or to government personnel policies and regulations and not to changes in government policies, and shall not extend to the settlement of disputes or allegations of unfair labor practices for which procedures are otherwise provided by law or regulation;

(c) advisory arbitration, if included in the procedures, shall be invoked only with the consent of the public employees involved and the exclusive employee organiza- tion representative, and arbitration expenses shall be shared equally between the Government and the employee organization.
