Description
The Borough of Nazareth ("the Borough") appeals from the order of the Commonwealth Court which affirmed the order of the Court of Common Pleas of Northampton County in all respects except insofar as it remanded to the arbitration panel for further proceedings. The court of common pleas affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded in part an interest arbitration award under Act 111. As is relevant to this case, the court of common pleas upheld an interest arbitration award which provided that pensions to be received by members of the Nazareth Borough Police Association ("the Association") be based upon gross (W-2) earnings. This Court granted allocatur limited to the issue of whether pension benefits are to be calculated on the basis of a pensioners gross earnings rather than merely that pensioners base salary when it is found that there is no inequity between the income-driven bases upon which pension contributions are paid into a plan and upon which pension benefits are paid out to beneficiaries. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the order of the Commonwealth Court.
