ANDERSON, J:

This matter comes before the Commission upon the filing of a Joint Request for Post-Trial Conference on June 9, 1997 "to clarify issues regarding the salary schedule structure and placement of employees on the salary schedule."

Post-trial conferences are authorized pursuant to NEB. REV. STAT. ยง48-816(7)(d) for the purpose of allowing the Commission "to hear from the parties on those portions of the recommended decision and order which is not based upon or which mischaracterizes evidence in the record and to allow the commission to correct any such errors..."

Discussions have been held between the Commission and counsel for the parties and as a result of said discussions and the Commission's further checking of its calculations, the Commission finds that the total staff index factor, and thus the subsequent salary, should be corrected. Rather than the original index factor of 26.76 and resulting base salary of $18,795, the correct figures are 27.04 for the total staff index factor and $18,600 for the resulting base salary. Attachment A reflects the new salary schedule the Commission orders and the placement of the Respondent's teachers on the schedule which results in a total staff index factor of 27.04.

The Findings and Order entered May 30, 1997 shall be modified and amended in the following respects:

1. Base Salary.

a) the new staff factor shall be amended to read "27.04".

b) the base salary shall be amended to read "$18,600".

2. Paragraph 4 of the Order shall be amended to read "Respondent shall pay the teachers a base salary of $18,600 for the 1996-97 school year."

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Entered June 12, 1997.
