MMBA section 3509, subdivision (b), grants PERB wide discretion to determine the appropriate remedy necessary to effectuate the purposes of the Act. The ordinary remedy in a discharge case includes both reinstatement and back pay. Employee should be offered reinstatement to position from which she was terminated; although position required a bachelor’s degree, which employee did not have at time of hire, employee subsequently received her degree prior to reinstatement order.
