  4. The arbitrator may interpret relevant provisions of the Personnel Rules and apply them to the particular case presented to him/her, but the arbitrator will have no authority to add to, subtract from, or in any way modify the terms of the Personnel Rules [NEAC 93-61-07].

Please note that the Nebraska Model Form, as described in [NEAC 50-1-04], may be useful in drafting a rental purchase agreement, but it does not provide specific guidance on binding arbitration clauses. Additionally, [NEAC 210-57-01] provides information on the authority of regulations in Nebraska, but is not relevant to the requirements for binding arbitration clauses.
