This bill prohibits any final offer that is submitted to the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission for interest arbitration from requiring the annual expenditure for compensation and fringe benefits per employee to be more than the amount spent in the previous year increased by the allowable percentage increase in available revenue, as defined in the bill, if the employer is subject to limitations on available revenue under state law.
