During the past year, the MSPB lacked a quorum and was unable to issue final decisions on petitions for review, while regional offices continued to issue initial decisions. However, the Federal Circuit issued decisions that federal HR professionals and agency counsel should know, and the Supreme Court also issues a couple. Mr. Bogdanow and Mr. Weiss will discuss the significant rulings of the past year. The update will cover decisions affecting discipline, whistleblower protections, and due process rights. The discussion of the cases will provide attendees with a broad picture of the MSPB’s analytical processes regarding adverse actions, penalties, jurisdiction, settlements, and much more.
