504.00000 – EMPLOYER DISCRIMINATION; EVIDENCE OF UNLAWFUL MOTIVATION; NEXUS
504.04000 – Timing of Action

That the timing of the adverse action in relation to the protected activity coincides with a statutory timeline for layoff under the Education Code does not mean that timing cannot be considered in the determination of unlawful motive; if that were the case, anytime a statutory layoff procedure is used as the mechanism by which to carry out a retaliatory dismissal, PERB would be precluded from considering timing as evidence of unlawful motive.
