Pursuant to PERB Regulation 32136, the Board may excuse a late filing for good cause. In this case, the Board excused a late filing based upon the Board’s conclusion that the Board agent dismissed prematurely charging party’s unfair practice charge. Upon examination of the record, the Board concluded that the Board agent provided a deadline for the charging party to supplement his amended charge. The Board agent then dismissed the charge prior to the deadline. Because charging party filed his supplement to his amended charge prior to the deadline, the Board found good cause to excuse the “late” filing.
