Check your junk mail folder. If you do not see an email, please contact our office at 360-570-7300 or filing@perc.wa.gov to confirm your filing was received.

You cannot save entries and the entire form must be completed before submitting. A case form takes about five minutes to complete. Prepare any attachments you plan to include before you start the form. You have two hours to complete your entry before the system times out. Do not refresh the page or hit the back button during the filing process, as this could result in a loss of work.

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 those documents will only be sent to PERC.

Filing a Document: You can select between two types—case attachment or secure attachment. Case attachment applies to the majority of filings and allows you to type the title of the document you are filing. Secure attachment should be selected ONLY if you are filing a mediation proposal on a Contract Mediation or showing of interest cards, a list of employees, or signature records for a card check on a Representation Petition in an open case. You will see a notification that those documents are confidential, and a confirmation email will be sent to the submitter and to PERC.

Yes. In your internet browser settings, turn on autofill for addresses. Then when you file a case it will populate the information you previously entered for the same representative. You can also manage autofill if you need to update or correct address information.

After a new case is filed through E-Filing, PERC will review and confirm that all the party and representative information is accurate and will then 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.

Enter the name and email address of the person making the submission. Even if you are a paralegal and filing on behalf of an attorney, or if you yourself are a representative already on the case, you will still enter your own information under this section. The confirmation of submission will be sent to this email address. All other parties to the case will receive a copy of the filing following submission (excluding confidential filings).

In the File a Document section, enter the original case number and add a document titled “Amended Complaint.” There is no need to file an Unfair Labor Practice Complaint form again, only an amended Statement of Facts and Remedy Requested is needed.

Please email PERC at filing@perc.wa.gov and request that an “alternate email address” 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. This is helpful if a paralegal or general department mailbox needs to receive a copy.

Only add people in the “Representatives” section of the case form. If you would like a general mailbox, such as an organization's labor relations office, to receive a copy of a case or document, please forward the email confirmation you receive after filing the case or document to that general email address.

When you file a document in an open case, you can only include ONE attachment at a time. To include a certificate of service with a document, such as an answer, brief, or notice of appearance, please “insert” the certificate of service into the back of the document you are going to file and save it as one pdf prior to E-Filing. This way, the document and the record of service for that document will be uploaded as a single attachment.

In the File a Document section, enter the original case number and select the Add Document button. In the Document Type drop down menu, select Case Attachment. In the Title field, title your document “Amended Petition.” Include the case number, employer and union names, and any updated information. There is no need to file a representation petition form again.

Please submit your large files to PERC using an external document storage link, such as Dropbox or Box. Email the link to filing@perc.wa.gov referencing the case number.

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 or "other attachment” type and title it “CBA.” If you wish to file a CBA into an open case, select the "case attachment" type and title it “CBA.” Attaching your CBA as a separate document will make it less likely to affect attachment file size limits.

The case filing form for a contract or grievance mediation will allow you to identify more than one bargaining unit or grievant and will automatically create a case for each.

If you encounter an error, try to reenter the information or attach the file again, and ensure that the entry meets requirements, such as length and file type. Do not refresh the page or hit the back button during the filing process, as this could result in a loss of work. If the error persists, please contact PERC at 360-570-7300 or filing@perc.wa.gov
