* * * OVERRULED IN PART ON OTHER GROUNDS by Visalia Unified School District (2022) PERB Decision No. 2806. * * *

The statute of limitations begins to run when the charging party discovers the conduct that constitutes the unfair practice, not when the charging party discovers the legal significance of that conduct. Employee’s discovery that her failure to receive pay raises outside the limitations period may have been discriminatory did not re-start the statute of limitations period; limitations period began to run when employee received her paycheck that did not include a raise.
