Who will be assigned as the fact finder?
Fact finders are assigned by the Director from PERB’s ad hoc panel of professional, neutral fact finders. All such individuals must also be admitted to PERB’s ad hoc mediation panel, and must meet the same qualifications and restrictions noted above for that panel. As in the case of mediation, the parties may jointly request the assignment of a particular member of the ad hoc fact-finding panel to their dispute, which will be honored if availability permits.
