Time Limits on Claims

You have 60 days from the date of the occurrence to submit your claim.  If denied, we only have 60 days from the date of your payroll recap for you to submit the claim to the union for the local chairman to process/appeal and research the claim to be signed for in Omaha by the UP Labor Relations. UP Labor Relations then has 60 days to allow or deny the appeal.  If denied, the claim then goes on to the General Chairman’s office, where he has over a year to take the claim to conference and/or arbitration.  This time limit can be extended.  As you can see, we are very limited on time at our level to get your claim to the next step. Please turn it in promptly, accurately, and complete.  At any point throughout the process either the Local Chairman or the General Committee can decide your claim does not merit further processing. A decision of this type might result if a claim is ambiguous, if there is insufficient supporting information, or if the claim deals with a new situation and it is felt the incident of your claim isn’t strong enough to get a favorable Public Law Board Ruling. If a decision is made to discontinue processing your claim, you will always be notified. Generally, good claims will be fully processed.
​In order to generate a Time Claim form that will be sent to the Local Chairman select a form from the drop down menu below.
