The FLRA has revised its electronic filing system for appeals and other filings in arbitration, negotiability, unfair labor practice and representation cases, and for requests for Federal Service Impasses Panel assistance in negotiation impasse cases.
“The FLRA completely reinvented the eFiling application using new software and cloud-based hosting. The agency is currently rebuilding its internal case management system using the same software, and the rebuilt CMS will eventually connect with eFiling and the agency’s document management system to migrate the agency to fully electronic case files,” an announcement said.
Revisions include streamlined and plain-English instructional text, improved site navigation, type-ahead suggestions for completing required fields, prompts to upload attachments without having to go to a different screen, customized questions based on previous responses, the ability to provide individual responses regarding each proposal or provision in negotiability cases, and more.
