What is E-Service?
"E-Service" is the electronic service of Board and ALJ decisions and orders on parties. Parties who register for E-Service will receive, immediately upon posting of the Board's daily E-Docket on its website, an e-mail constituting formal notice of the Board's or Judge's decision and an electronic link to the decision. E-Service notifications will be sent at the close of the business day from NLRB headquarters in Washington, D.C. (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time). Board and ALJ decisions will not be mailed to parties who sign up for E-Service.
When documents are electronically-filed in a case, the NLRB sends a courtesy e-mail notification to other parties in the case who have registered to receive electronic service of Board and ALJ Decisions. The e-mail provides a link to the documents as a courtesy notification only; it does not constitute service of the document by the filing party pursuant to Board Rules & Regulations Sections 102.114(a) or 102.114(i). In addition, this e-mail indicates only that the document has been E-Filed with the Agency. It does not constitute a determination that the document has been accepted by the Agency as meeting the requirements for filing. In the event the document being E-Filed is required to be served on another party to a proceeding, the other party must be served by e-mail, if possible. If the other party does not have the ability to receive electronic service, that party must be notified by telephone of the substance of the transmitted document and a copy of the document must be served by personal service no later than the next day, by overnight delivery service, or, with the permission of the party receiving the document, by facsimile transmission. See Sec. 102.114(a) and (i) of the Board's Rules and Regulations.
If you have not registered for E-Service, and wish to do so, you should log into the NLRB My Account Portal and select the checkbox that says “I consent to accept formal service of documents electronically from the NLRB.”. See the FAQ “How do I sign in to the NLRB My Account Portal?” for information regarding logging into My Account.
