Federal Supervisors & Managers FAQ

How can I appeal a denied promotion?

To challenge a promotion denial, you can file an MSPB appeal or EEO complaint depending on the basis of the denial. We guide you through gathering documentation of your qualifications, drafting the appeal, and representing you in hearings.

What constitutes unwarranted discipline and how do I contest it?

Unwarranted discipline includes reprimands or penalties without proper cause or due process. We investigate the agency’s procedures, submit corrective action requests, and, if necessary, file MSPB appeals to overturn improper discipline.

How do reorganizations and RIFs affect my position?

During reorganizations or Reduction-in-Force (RIF) actions, agencies must follow specific procedures and criteria. We review the agency’s RIF plan, assess whether your position was targeted unfairly, and pursue appeals to protect your job status.

When should I file an EEO complaint vs. an MSPB appeal?

EEO complaints address discrimination or retaliation based on protected characteristics, while MSPB appeals handle adverse actions like removals, suspensions, and performance appraisals. We advise which forum is appropriate for your situation and meet all filing deadlines.

What evidence is crucial for my case?

Important evidence includes performance reviews, emails, witness statements, and documentation of policy changes or shifting requirements. We help you compile and preserve this evidence to build a strong record for your claim.
