It was not clear from the proposed decision why the ALJ did not award interest. The Board found no cause to depart from its well-established precedent regarding back pay interest. (Sonoma County Superior Court (2017) PERB Decision No. 2532-C, p. 42 [“Back pay, front pay and/or other monetary awards, plus interest, are an ordinary part of Board-ordered remedies where necessary to compensate injured parties or affected employees for out-of-pocket losses caused, in whole or in part, by an unfair practice”]; State of California (Department of Corrections) (2001) PERB Decision No. 1435-S, at p. 49; Regents of the University of California (1997) PERB Decision No. 1188-H, pp. 33-35.)
