While some of the employer’s allegedly adverse actions were in close temporal proximity to employee’s protected activity, timing alone is not determinative. (Adelanto Elementary School District (2019) PERB Decision No. 2630, p. 9.) The record as a whole does not lead PERB to conclude that employer conducted investigatory interview of employee, delayed processing employee’s supplemental employment application, or lost employee’s Departmental personnel files because he engaged in protected activity. No evidence introduced suggesting employer was motivated by protected activity, where asserted adverse actions were mistakes or caused by breakdown in communication.
