Manager Cannot Go Directly to PERB Without Going Through Local Process First

Written By Justin Mabee

In Shawn Terris v. County of Santa Barbara (2011) PERB Decision No. 2181-M, PERB declined to consider an employee’s claim that the County had retaliated against her and misclassified her as a manager. 

PERB ruled that an employee who is improperly designated as a manager should use the unit modification procedures in the local government employer’s local rule to challenge that designation, instead of coming straight to PERB.

It is unclear whether the Board agreed with its own Regional Attorney, who had written that PERB has no authority to process the unfair practice charge of an employee who has been designated as a manager.
