Q: What if I don’t receive an email confirmation from PERC after filing a case or document?
A: Be sure to check your junk mail folder. If you do not see an email confirming your submission, please contact our office at 360-570-7300 or filing@perc.wa.gov.
Q: What documents are considered confidential and how are they handled?
Filing a Case - If you file a mediation proposal or showing of interest cards in a new case, you will see a notification that those documents are confidential and a copy will not be sent to everyone on the case. Those documents will only be sent to PERC.
Filing a Document - If you file a mediation proposal, showing of interest cards, list of employees, or signature records for a card check as a document in an open case, you will see a notification that those documents are confidential and a copy will not be sent to anyone on the case, including the submitter. Those documents will only be sent to PERC.
Q: I just filed a case through E-Filing and it is not showing up in the File a Document search box, why don’t I see it?
A: After a new case is filed through E-Filing, PERC will review and confirm that all the party and representative information is consistent and will make the case accessible for public viewing, allowing parties to file new documents into it. You should see your new case within one business day. If you do not, please contact our office at 360-570-7300 or filing@perc.wa.gov.
Q: Whose information should I enter in the Submitter Name and Email fields?
A: Enter the name and email address of the person actually making the submission, not the attorney or representative. If the attorney or representative is already a party on the case, they will receive a copy the document of it when it is submitted.
Q: What if more than one person wants to receive an email notification of a filing but only one person wants to be listed as the representative on the case?
A: Please email PERC at filing@perc.wa.gov and request that an “alternate email” be added to the representative's contact information. Then when an email is sent from the E-Filing system to the representative listed on the case, it will go to both email addresses listed for that person.
Q: What if I want to copy a general email with my case or document filing?
A: Only add people in the “Representatives” section of the case form. If you would like to copy a general mailbox after filing a case, please forward the email confirmation you receive after filing the case or document to the general email that you want to copy with the case filing.
Q: What if my attachment exceeds the 35 MB file size limit?
A: Please submit your large files to PERC using an external document storage link, such as Dropbox or Box, and send the link to PERC in an email to filing@perc.wa.gov.
Q: Do I have to file a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with my case?
A: No, PERC's new rules do not require that a CBA be filed with your case. If you do file a CBA with your case, please attach it as a separate document from the other documents that are attached with the case. This will make it less likely to affect attachment file size limits.
Q: Do I need to include a Certificate of Service with my case or document?
A: Yes, if you select YES in the Serve and Submit section of the case form, a copy of your filing will be sent to everyone listed on the case. It is best practice to include a signed and dated certificate of service (proof of mailing) showing that you served a copy on all other parties.
