COMPTON, Justice.

I.

INTRODUCTION

This dispute arises out of arbitration proceedings between the State and the Public Safety Employees Association (PSEA). An arbitrator held that the State was obligated to pay certain employees geographic differential increases commencing September 1, 1990. The State maintained that it could not pay the differential increases by that date.
