1101.04000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; LIMITATION PERIOD FOR FILING CHARGE; Continuing Violation
The continuing violation doctrine applies if a charging party alleges that a respondent’s rule or policy on its face interferes with protected rights or discriminates against protected activity, and the policy was in effect during the six months prior to the filing of the charge. In such cases, “it is not the ‘act’ of adopting the policy, but its ‘existence’ continuing to the time of the hearing that constitutes the offending conduct.” (City & County of San Francisco (2017) PERB Decision No. 2536-M, p. 8.) Thus, for the charge to be timely, the employer need not have applied the rule or policy to the charging party during the limitations period.

1101.04000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; LIMITATION PERIOD FOR FILING CHARGE; Continuing Violation
In San Dieguito Union High School District (1982) PERB Decision No. 194 (San Dieguito), the Board “articulated three distinct exceptions to the six-month rule: ‘the charge may still be considered to be timely filed if the alleged violation is a continuing one, if the violation has been revived by subsequent unlawful conduct within the six-month period, or if the limitation period was tolled.’” (City & County of San Francisco (2017) PERB Decision No. 2536, p. 15, fn. 14, quoting San Dieguito, supra, PERB Decision No. 194, p. 5.) In decisions such as San Dieguito, supra, PERB Decision No. 194, p. 5, and City & County of San Francisco, supra, PERB Decision No. 2536, p. 15, fn. 14, the Board held that the continuing violation doctrine and the new wrongful act doctrine are separate exceptions to the statute of limitations. In unilateral change charges, the new wrongful act doctrine can apply if there are sufficient facts to support the exception, but the continuing violation doctrine does not apply. (See, e.g., City of Livermore (2014) PERB Decision No. 2396-M, p. 6 [“Under the applicable legal standard in unilateral change cases, the statute of limitations begins to run on the date that the charging party has actual or constructive notice of the respondent’s clear intent to implement a unilateral change in policy, provided that nothing subsequent to that date evinces a wavering of that intent.”].) more or view all topics or full text.

A complaint included a facial challenge, as it alleged that the County violated the MMBA by “maintaining” the rule, which is a separate act from any alleged enforcement. A facial challenge may be brought at any time where a charging party would risk discipline or other adverse consequences if it were to violate the rule.

1101.04000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; LIMITATION PERIOD FOR FILING CHARGE; Continuing Violation
A charging party timely challenges a local rule by filing a charge within six months of any independent instance in which the employer has applied the rule, or, alternatively, at any time under the continuing violation doctrine, if a union or employee would risk an adverse consequence by violating the rule. Union’s challenge was timely under both theories. First, union risked an adverse consequence under the Charter’s penalty provision, should union have missed the submission deadline. Second, union filed its charge early in the negotiations cycle, just as the City was beginning to apply its Charter provisions. The new negotiations cycle qualified as an independent application of the Charter, which triggered a new statute of limitations. more or view all topics or full text.

1101.04000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; LIMITATION PERIOD FOR FILING CHARGE; Continuing Violation
The limitations period for a termination of employment or imposition of lesser discipline, commences on the date the termination or lesser discipline becomes effective, not on the earlier date on which an employer may provide an employee notice of its intention to terminate or impose the discipline. This policy recognizes that the question of whether a public employee may be terminated or disciplined is frequently subject to due process procedures under a collective bargaining agreement or memorandum of understanding, or under other regulatory or statutory procedures, and, consequently, there may be a significant delay between an employer’s announcement of the intent to terminate or discipline, and the parties’ ensuing completion of applicable due process procedures. Where a charging party timely alleges that an employer’s notice of intent to terminate or discipline is unlawful under our statutes, and thereafter, following utilization by the parties of due process procedures, the employer does in fact either terminate or discipline the employee, an amended charge alleging that the termination or discipline itself either was unlawfully motived or interfered with the exercise of employee rights, will be deemed to relate back to the timely-filed charge. more or view all topics or full text.

2243E Santa Monica Community College District
1101.04000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; LIMITATION PERIOD FOR FILING CHARGE; Continuing Violation
PERB is prohibited from issuing a complaint in respect to any charge based upon an alleged unfair practice occurring more than six months prior to the filing of the charge; the limitations period begins to run once the charging party knows, or should have known, of the conduct underlying the charge; a charging party bears the burden of demonstrating that the charge is timely filed; where the charge alleged that the parties were required under the ground rules to sign off on tentative agreements as they were reached at the bargaining table, the union knew or should have known of the existence of a violation at the time each agreement was reached; because the charge alleged that the dates upon which the tentative agreements were reached were outside the statutory limitations period, the allegation that the college district violated the ground rules when it did not sign off on the tentative agreements when they were reached was time-barred; once the limitations period begins to run, it does not begin anew by making the same request and therefore the union’s subsequent request to sign off on the tentative agreements did not restart the limitations period; to establish a continuing violation, a charging party must show that there is some new violation, sufficiently independent of the original act, occurring within the limitations period; a continuing violation is not found where an employer’s conduct during the limitations period is simply maintaining the original position or action it took outside the limitations period; an alleged violation of ground rules requiring parties to sign off on tentative agreements when they are reached at the bargaining table is not in the nature of a continuing violation. more or view all topics or full text.

For the continuing violation doctrine to apply, the conduct alleged during the limitations period must be of the same type as that alleged outside the limitations period and must stand on its own as an unfair practice. Doctrine inapplicable to alleged refusal to negotiate over proposals sunshined at public meeting, where allegations did not state an independent unfair practice and conduct in seeking to negotiate is not of the same type as alleged violation of public notice requirements of EERA section 3547. Alleged adoption of initial proposals at public meeting did not revive earlier allegation that notice provided previously failed to comply with requirements of section 3547. more or view all topics or full text.

There is no continuing violation when the employer’s conduct during the limitations period constituted an unfair practice only by its relation to the original offense. No continuing violation when the employer’s refusals to register the employee organization under the employer’s local rules during the limitations period were merely reiterations of the position the employer took outside the limitations period. more or view all topics or full text.

2157E Rio Teachers Association (Lucas)
1101.04000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; LIMITATION PERIOD FOR FILING CHARGE; Continuing Violation
Under the continuing violation doctrine, a violation within the statute of limitations period may “revive” an earlier violation of the same type that occurred outside the limitations period. However, the doctrine does not apply where the alleged unlawful conduct outside the limitations period consists of acts that are separate and independent from the timely allegations. In this case, each year in which the union failed to make available the required financial report constituted a separate and independent act. Therefore, a single timely allegation of the failure provide the financial report does not bring the allegations for the prior nine years within the continuing violation doctrine. more or view all topics or full text.

Allegations that union failed to honor non-member’s request to pay reduced fair share fee for two prior fiscal years were untimely because non-member knew, or should have known, when he received his first paycheck of each fiscal year that the union had not honored his request; the deduction of the full fair share fee on each subsequent paycheck did not extend the six-month statute of limitations under the continuing violation doctrine. more or view all topics or full text.

Alleged pattern of retaliatory actions over a 2-1/2 year period does not establish a continuing violation, where charging party failed to establish that the employer’s actions within the statutory limitations period amount to a violation of EERA. While actions outside the statutory limitations period may not be considered as separate violations in the absence of an independent violation within the limitations period they may nonetheless be considered as background evidence of the employer's motive. In this case, however, the Board finds insufficient evidence to support a finding that employer’s evaluations and letters of concern issued prior to the statutory period demonstrate unlawful motivation. more or view all topics or full text.

1101.04000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; LIMITATION PERIOD FOR FILING CHARGE; Continuing Violation
* * * OVERRULED by County of San Diego (2020) PERB Decision No. 2721-M, where the Board held that the continuing violation doctrine and new wrongful act doctrine are separate statute of limitations exceptions and must be analyzed separately. As long as the employer policy or local rule continues in effect, charging party can bring claim that it interferes with or discriminates against protected rights or constitutes an unreasonable local rule, irrespective of when employer promulgated it. * * *The Board has long recognized the continuing violation doctrine. However, a continuing violation will not be found where the employer’s conduct during the limitations period constituted an unfair practice only by its relation to the original offense. In other words, a continuing violation will only be found when the wrongdoer engages in active conduct (i.e., new wrongful act) within the limitations periods that independently constitutes an unfair practice. Thus, in order to invoke the continuing violation doctrine, the offending party must commit a new wrongful act, and this act must be timely challenged by the charging party. more or view all topics or full text.

A timely violation would not be found where the employer's conduct during the limitations period constituted an unfair practice based on a necessary relation to the original offense. In cases where there is a relation back to previous conduct, some new conduct which is sufficiently independent of the original offense is required that will revive the viability of the unfair practice; p. 5, warning letter. In the context of a unilateral change case, the first implementation of the policy commences the six-month period and subsequent occasions when employees are required to adhere to the policy, so long as it does not change, do not revive the violation; p. 5, warning letter. The employer's continued reliance on a "reprisal" file is not sufficiently independent of the original offense to constitute a separate violation; p. 5, warning letter. Although the employer continually updates the "reprisal" file with new separate violation; p. 5, warning letter. Although the employer continually updates the "reprisal" file with new independently offending conduct; p. 5, warning letter.
