In California School Employees Assn. v. Personnel Commission (1973) 30 Cal. App. 3d 241, the court found as to a wrongfully discharged employee that although comparable jobs were available at other school districts in the area, "petitioner made no effort whatsoever to obtain similar employment since her dismissal." Therefore "projected earnings from such employment possibilities could be applied by the employer in mitigation." ( Id. at p. 255.) The school district in that case was entitled to deduct from compensation for backpay an amount representing what the employee "with reasonable diligence might have earned from other employment." ( Id. at pp. 249-250.)
