Add Comment Question: After 26 years of employment they have determined a violation of a policy and have terminated my employment. The union is representing me with a grievance. Is the employer obligated to pay me . If so , what timeline does this occur? Thank you Answer: The employer is only obligated to pay you if the arbitrator of your grievance finds in your favour and orders the employer to do so.
