| 2852H | Regents of the University of California 1201.08000: REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR PRACTICES; REINSTATEMENT; BACKPAY BENEFITS; Other To make employees whole for the denial of lecturer appointments under an unlawfully adopted policy prohibiting concurrently holding a FLSA non-exempt staff position and a FLSA-exempt academic position, the Board ordered that affected employees be granted appropriate credit toward the six-year requirement for “continuing status” under the University’s collective bargaining agreement with UC-AFT.

| 2643E | California School Employees Association (Williams) 1201.08000: REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR PRACTICES; REINSTATEMENT; BACKPAY BENEFITS; Other EERA section 3541.5(c) grants PERB “broad remedial powers to effectuate the purposes of the EERA,” including an award of monetary damages when such relief is necessary to place the injured party in the position it would have been in had the wrongful conduct not occurred, i.e., to make the injured party “whole.” But PERB does not presume damages on the part of employees, even where the representative has failed to adequately represent them.

| 2643E | California School Employees Association (Williams) 1201.08000: REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR PRACTICES; REINSTATEMENT; BACKPAY BENEFITS; Other When a union fails to fairly represent an employee in grievance processing, the employee is not entitled to make whole relief unless he or she would have prevailed had the union properly processed the grievance. (p. 8.) In such case, the typical remedy is an order that the union process the grievance or make whole relief if that process is not available or would be ineffectual. The latter remedy requires the employee prove in compliance proceedings that he or she would have prevailed on a properly process grievance. (p. 8, fn. 5.) Charging Party was bound by the ALJ’s conclusion that her requested grievance lacked merit because she did not except to it. With no basis for the Board to conclude that she would have prevailed on her requested grievance, she was not allowed monetary relief.

| 2464M | City of San Diego * * * Affirmed, 5 Cal.5th 898 (2018). Remedy modified by City of San Diego (2019) PERB Decision No. 2464a-M * * * 1201.08000: REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR PRACTICES; REINSTATEMENT; BACKPAY BENEFITS; Other Although PERB’s traditional remedy for an employer’s unlawful unilateral change includes restoration of the prior status quo and appropriate make whole relief, including back pay and benefits with interest thereon, for all employees who have suffered loss as a result of the unlawful conduct, the Board does not have jurisdiction to rescind a municipal election to overturn a ballot measure. Where City’s unilateral change to employee pension benefits was enacted through citizen’s initiative, PERB lacked jurisdiction to order the election results rescinded but ordered the City to pay affected employees the difference for the resulting change in pension benefits, plus interest at seven percent per annum. Restoring injured parties and affected employees to their respective positions before an unfair practice occurred is critical to an effective Board-ordered remedy because it prevents the employer from gaining a one-sided and unfair advantage in negotiations and thereby forcing the employees’ representative to talk the employer back to terms previously agreed to. Where the Board lacks jurisdiction to order an unfair practice reversed, it may award compensatory damages, including attorneys’ fees and costs for separate litigation that is necessary to obtain complete relief from the unfair practice. more or view all topics or full text. | 40 | 108 | 12/29/15 |
| 2440E | Capistrano Unified School District 1201.08000: REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR PRACTICES; REINSTATEMENT; BACKPAY BENEFITS; Other Make-whole relief, including expungement of discipline, may be appropriate for an employee who has been disciplined for misconduct occurring as a result of an unlawful investigatory interview, where a representative may have prevented or at least mitigated the employee’s misconduct. more or view all topics or full text. | 40 | 24 | 06/30/15 |
| 2385E | Bellflower Unified School District 1201.08000: REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR PRACTICES; REINSTATEMENT; BACKPAY BENEFITS; Other While the ALJ properly rejected the union’s request for a make-whole remedy based on the union’s failure to prove that an unlawful layoff occurred, the ALJ’s bargaining order is insufficient to remedy the District’s unlawful conduct.) (In Oakland Unified School District (1983) PERB Decision No. 326, the Board imposed a limited back-pay remedy to run if and while the parties bargained over the effects of a non-negotiable decision.) (In order to assure meaningful bargaining and effectuate the purposes of EERA, we shall accompany our order to bargain over the effects of the District’s decision to close the school site and eliminate classified positions with a limited backpay requirement designed both to make-whole employees for losses suffered as a result of the violation and recreate in some practicable manner a situation in which the parties’ bargaining position is not entirely devoid of economic consequences.

Thus, the Board ordered the County to rescind the unilateral change and return to the status quo as it would have been had the policy not been implemented and to make whole all those impacted by the unilateral change. more or view all topics or full text. | 33 | 126 | 06/30/09 |
| 2045M | County of Sacramento 1201.08000: REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR PRACTICES; REINSTATEMENT; BACKPAY BENEFITS; Other Future retirement health benefits for current employees are within the scope of bargaining. The fact that the County made the change on June 5, effective June 1, did not change the prospective nature of the action because the change was prospective for all those employed on June 5 as well as those employed on June 1. more or view all topics or full text. | 33 | 127 | 06/30/09 |

| 1548E | Mark Twain Union Elementary School District 1201.08000: REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR PRACTICES; REINSTATEMENT; BACKPAY BENEFITS; Other Board found that District violated EERA by unilaterally increasing the hours of work. As a remedy, the Board ordered the District to make the teachers whole by providing compensatory time off. The Board further ordered the parties to negotiate over the manner in which the compensatory time off would be granted.

| 1390S | State of California (Department of Corrections) 1201.08000: REMEDIES FOR UNFAIR PRACTICES; REINSTATEMENT; BACKPAY BENEFITS; Other Board found that this case was not about "staffing patterns" but rather about the transfer of work. Board recognized that there may be managerial decisions concerning staffing patterns that would not be negotiable, even though their effects might be negotiable. Although the staffing pattern proposed by the Administrative Law Judge would presumably remedy the transfer of work, it could not be said that it was the only remedy available. There might be other elections which the Department could make that would keep food preparation assignment and training work from being transferred out of the supervising cooks' unit. Such decisions are not appropriately mandated by the Board. more or view all topics or full text. | 24 | 31111 | 06/26/00 |

The Board declines to such remedy and leaves the mechanism of providing information to the parties negotiations. more or view all topics or full text. | 22 | 29089 | 04/28/98 |
