If you are interested in how to address and or
resolve a work related dispute Federal Employee's News Digest's
Federal Job Dispute Procedures
is the ultimate resource for your research. This book is a recommended reference for both
employees and federal managers. It provides a roadmap for you to follow in all areas from
grievances, Alternate Dispute Resolutions and Settlements, to conduct based actions, EEO
complaints, sexual harassment, and whistle blowing protections.
A must read for anyone who either wants to
understand all avenues available to them and for managers to better understand the complex
and often times conflicting procedures. This excellent resource describes each type of
dispute in detail with explicit guidance on how to initiate action, process claims, and
prepare for each phase of the process.
Chapter Four is a good example of just how
beneficial this book is. This chapter explains the law under Chapter 75 of Title 5 of the
U.S. Code relating to discipline. It further addresses the Douglas factors that provide a
set of standards agencies MUST consider when deciding whether a penalty is
appropriate in an adverse action. Appeals rights are described in detail. Performance
based discipline is also covered and that is only one of 20 chapters and 3 appendices.
This book takes you from introduction to the
Offices of Special Counsel and everything in between. The book covers:
Getting Advice and Help
Preparation
Discipline
Discrimination
Sexual Harassment
Whistleblowing
Injury Compensation and Disability
Monetary claims
Security Clearances
