| 2522H | Trustees of the California State University 1100.04000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Amendments Where case file gave no indication that the domination and interference theory of liability alleged in the charge had been investigated or addressed in a warning letter, Board vacated the dismissal of that allegation and remanded to Office of the General Counsel for further investigation. PERB Regulations prohibit dismissal of any allegation without prior notice to the charging party. (PERB Reg. 32620, subd. (d).)

| 2522H | Trustees of the California State University 1100.04000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Amendments Although PERB Regulations place no limit on the number of times a charging party may amend its charge before a warning letter issues or before the charge is dismissed, they do not require an investigating Board agent to provide a separate warning letter for each successive amendment to a charge. If, following a warning letter that adequately identifies the deficiencies in a charge, subsequent amendments do not correct those deficiencies, dismissal is appropriate. (PERB Reg. 32620, subd. (d); 32621.) (p. 4.) more or view all topics or full text. | 41 | 150 | 03/20/17 |

| 2384H | Trustees of the California State University 1100.04000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Amendments An amended charge may incorporate by reference information or allegations included in a previous iteration of the charge, so long as the amended charge includes a “clear and concise statement” of the charge and otherwise complies with PERB’s regulations. New allegations included in an amended charge may not be dismissed merely because they were not included in the original charge. PERB regulations place no limit on the number of times a charging party may amend its charge before a warning letter issues or before the charge is dismissed. more or view all topics or full text. | 39 | 16 | 06/30/14 |
| 2400H | Trustees of the California State University 1100.04000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Amendments Failure of Board agent to inform charging party that respondent was entitled to file response to amended charge does not affect outcome of dismissal of charge. Extension of time granted to respond to amended charge did not violate PERB Regulation 32132(b), where there was no basis to conclude that Board agent did not find good cause for extension. Amended charge that attempted to cure the fatal subject matter jurisdictional defect by re-characterizing what is essentially a wage claim into a claim that the wage dispute arose in retaliation for EERA-protected activities does not state prima facie violation of EERA. more or view all topics or full text. | 39 | 71 | 11/24/14 |

| 2134H | Trustees of the California State University (San Marcos) 1100.04000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Amendments PERB Regulation 32621 provides that a charging party may file an amended charge before the Board agent issues or refuses to issue a complaint. Therefore, when a charging party files an amended charge after the charge was dismissed by a Board agent, the amendment will be deemed as untimely and will not be subject to review on the merits. more or view all topics or full text. | 34 | 141 | 10/01/10 |
| 2187E | California School Employees Association and its Chapter 746 (Perez) 1100.04000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Amendments PERB has historically treated the filing of an amended charge after an unfair practice charge has been dismissed as an appeal from the dismissal of the charge. Even construing the amended charge as an appeal from dismissal, amended charge filed two days after extended deadline agreed to by parties was untimely, in the absence of a showing of good cause. more or view all topics or full text. | 36 | 8 | 06/15/11 |
| 2169M | Service Employees International Union, Local 1021 (Crandell) 1100.04000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Amendments Charging party filed his amended charge after the due date stated in the warning letter because he did not retrieve the warning letter from his post office box until the due date. Had charging party checked his post office box sooner, he could have requested an extension of time to file an amended charge.

| 2046E | Alvord Educator's Association (Bussman) 1100.04000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Amendments Pursuant to PERB Regulation 32635(b) “unless good cause is shown, a charging party may not present on appeal new allegations or new supporting evidence.” Charging Party failed to demonstrate good cause as to why new claims that the union provided false information to PERB, and new details regarding the claim for violation of the duty of fair representation, were not included in the original or amended charge, and should be considered for the first time on appeal. more or view all topics or full text. | 33 | 128 | 06/30/09 |
| 2023M | County of San Bernardino (County Library) 1100.04000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Amendments Board found good cause to excuse late filing of amended charge where charging party made a conscientious attempt to timely file amended charge, the amended charge was postmarked on the date due for filing as a result of honest error based on “misunderstood communications” between the charging party and the Board agent, and there was no evidence of prejudice resulting from the brief delay. A late filing may be excused at the discretion of the Board for good cause only. Once excused, the filing becomes timely (PERB Regulation 32135). more or view all topics or full text. | 33 | 85 | 05/12/09 |

| 1917M | Service Employees International Union, Local 715 (Langlois-Dul, et al.) 1100.04000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Amendments Because the warning and dismissal letters were addressed to the wrong zip code, and allegedly never reached the charging party, the Board vacated the dismissal, restored the case to the status quo that existed immediately before the issuance of the warning letter, and remanded the case to the Office of the General Counsel for the re-issuance of the warning letter and for further investigation and processing. more or view all topics or full text. | 31 | 134 | 08/02/07 |
| 1870H | Regents of the University of California 1100.04000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; CHARGE; Amendments A party may not amend a charge after the issuance of a dismissal letter unless the party shows that there was good cause for the late filing.
