§ 64.5. Requirements for Filing Discrimination Complaint with the SPB.
Any complaint to the SPB alleging discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or denial of reasonable accommodation for a known physical or mental disability shall be subject to the following filing requirements:
(a) The complaint shall be filed with the Appeals Division within 30 days of the date the appointing power served its decision concerning the complaint of discrimination on the Complainant. If the appointing power has failed to provide a decision to the Complainant within 90 days of the complaint being filed, the Complainant may file a complaint with the Appeals Division within 150 days of the date the Complainant filed his or her complaint of discrimination with the appointing power.
(b) The Complainant shall submit to the Appeals Division a complaint and any attachments.
(c) The complaint shall be in writing, and shall:
(1) identify the facts that form the basis for the complaint, including, but not limited to the specific protected classification or activity as set forth in sections 19701 or 19702 of the Government Code; all discriminatory acts experienced by the Complainant, including the date that each act occurred; the name and job title of each person who allegedly subjected Complainant to each discriminatory act; and all information that the Complainant possesses that shows that the complained of employment action(s) were the result of discriminatory conduct;
(2) identify all Respondents known to the complainant (i.e. the appointing power as well as all state employees alleged to have discriminated against the complainant), and identify the business address of each Respondent named as a party to the complaint. Unless the complainant names some other known Respondent, the Complainant's appointing power shall be considered the sole Respondent;
(3) attach a copy of the Complainant's complaint of discrimination filed with the appointing power, together with a copy of the decision or other response of the appointing power to the complaint. If the appointing power failed to provide the Complainant with a written decision or other response to the discrimination complaint within the time period set forth in section 64.4, the Complainant shall so state in the complaint;
(4) specify the relief and/or remedies sought by the Complainant; and
(5) be limited to a maximum of 15 pages of double-spaced typed or printed text. Additional pages may be allowed upon a showing of good cause. The Complainant shall submit a separate document with the complaint stating the reasons for good cause. The 15 page limit does not apply to any documents attached to the complaint pursuant to the requirements of subdivisions (3) of this section, or any other exhibits.
(d) The above procedures do not apply in those cases where an appellant raises discrimination as an affirmative defense to any case scheduled for hearing. A party who raises discrimination solely as an affirmative defense shall not be entitled to the relief specified in section 19702 of the Government Code, unless that party has also complied with all filing requirements set forth in sections 64.2 through 64.6.
