The person filing a claim against the agency how's the preponderance of the evidence standard whereas the agency has the heavier burden of showing through clear and convincing evidence that they would have done the same thing
Extremely useful information for the Gov't workers. It would be very helpful if to could get a consultation with you( or a retainer) before getting much deeper into the MSPB process unarmed.
Absolutely. Give us a call 202-449-8527
Great video. What needs to be addressed is why employees have no recourse when wrongdoings occur. Typically employees are terminated and without a salary, and coming up with $5-$10k dollars for retainers and agencies know this which is why 90% of complaints go in favor of agencies.
Maybe the whole thing should be saving 1-5 percent of salary per year for a defense. After probationary period, you’ll have some some money saved up Afro a defense
Some information here is misleading. You can sue for compensatory damages with the MSPB if discrimination is an affirmative defense in your case.
What if all of the supervisors in the case is actually no longer in positions or agency???
