The slander allegation, which was timely filed, lacked any specificity regarding dates of occurrence, circumstances, the nature of the alleged slander, or the context of CSEA’s refusal to grieve the issue, did not meet the requirements of PERB Regulation 32615(a)(5) and does not state a prima facie case. Gutierrez failed to demonstrate that CSEA’s failure to process her complaints about pay and longevity pay issues was without rational basis or devoid of honest judgment. CSEA’s investigation concluded that Gutierrez was paid correctly.
