Adverse Actions faqs

1. What is the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB)?

The MSPB is an independent agency that hears appeals from federal employees who believe they have been unfairly subjected to adverse actions. Employees can appeal decisions made by their agency, including wrongful termination, suspensions, demotions, and reductions in pay.

2. How long do I have to file an appeal?

The time limit for filing an appeal with the MSPB or an EEO complaint varies depending on the type of claim. Generally, you have 30 days to file an appeal after receiving notice of the adverse action. It is crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure you meet all deadlines.

3. Can I be fired for whistleblowing?

No. The Whistleblower Protection Act prohibits retaliation against federal employees for reporting misconduct, violations of law, or safety violations within their agency. If you have been retaliated against for whistleblowing, our attorneys can help you pursue a legal claim.

4. What if my adverse action was based on discrimination?

Federal employees are protected from discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, national origin, religion, and other protected classes. If you believe your adverse action was based on unlawful discrimination, we can help you file a claim with the EEOC.

5. Can I receive compensation for a wrongful termination?

If your wrongful termination is based on a violation of federal law, discrimination, or retaliation, you may be entitled to compensation, including back pay, reinstatement, and damages. Our attorneys will help you pursue the compensation you deserve.
