1107.10000 – Request for Reconsideration

The Board strictly applies the limited grounds included in PERB Regulation 32410 to avoid the use of the reconsideration process to reargue or relitigate issues which have already been decided; p. 5. A request for reconsideration which merely asserts a Board decision contains "prejudicial error" fails since PERB Regulation 32410 requires the claim to assert prejudicial errors of fact; p. 5.

1503.00000 – MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; REGULATIONS
1503.03000 – Regulations Considered (By Number) (Continued)

The Board strictly applies the limited grounds included in PERB Regulation 32410 to avoid the use of the reconsideration process to reargue or relitigate issues which have already been decided; p. 5. A request for reconsideration which merely asserts a Board decision contains "prejudicial error" fails since PERB Regulation 32410 requires the claim to assert prejudicial errors of fact; p. 5. A claim that there is no evidence in the record to support the Board decision is essentially an effort to relitigate the issue of the employer's motive and does not demonstrate a prejudicial error of fact.
