SUMMARY:Do You Really Know How to Use the Douglas Factors? - July 10\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:If only there was a checklist that you could use to determine the correct penalty to address employee misconduct. Oh right\, there is: the 12 factors identified in the Merit Systems Protection Board’s landmark Douglas v. VA decision. Yet\, look at any recent batch of MSPB decisions\, and you’ll find continued confusion about penalty determination. \nThis class will review recent case law and highlight how agencies correctly use the Douglas factors and also how they have been misapplied. Get all your Douglas questions answered\, such as: Do the factors go in the proposal or the decision? What do OPM regulations say about the Douglas factors? What’s the best way to prevent penalty mitigation? And much more. \nLearning objectives\n\nUnderstand the Douglas factors principles.\nExplain when and how to use each factor.\nAvoid the too-common Douglas mistakes that will derail your case.\n\nTraining time\n1:00 pm – 2:00 pm ET \nPricing\nEarly bird (register by June 10\, 2025): $195.00 \nStandard (register June 11 – July 10\, 2025): $250.00 \nEvent FAQs\nCan I attend this class using my government computer?\nThis event will be held on Zoom. Many government computers and systems allow Zoom access. If\, for some reason\, your firewall will not allow access\, you are welcome to use your personal email address to register and to attend the sessions from your personal device. Dial-in telephone access is also available. \nCan I earn CLE credits for this class?\nCLE applications are the responsibility of each attendee; FELTG does not apply for the credits on behalf of attendees. If you are seeking CLE credit\, you may use the materials provided by FELTG in submission to your state bar. You may also request a certificate of completion which will contain the number of training hours attended. \nCan I share my access link with co-workers?\nNo. Registration for this event is per individual\, and access links may not be shared. Each link may only be used by one person. \nCan I register a teleworker?\nThis event is individual registration\, so the cost is the same whether the person is teleworking or attending from an agency facility. \nHow do I receive a group discount?\nGroup discounts are available for agencies registering 10 or more individuals for the full event by the early bird registration deadline. The group discount must be requested in writing with registration submission via email or fax. \nWhat are the Substitute\, Cancellation\, and No-show Policies for Registered Participants?\nSubstitutions may be made at no cost with advance notice to FELTG.
