Course Description
Federal supervisors have a useful tool to deal with underperforming employees – the Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). Yet, supervisors have consistently struggled with getting PIPs right. And then came the decision in Santos v. NASA, which requires agencies to have substantial evidence of poor performance BEFORE the implementing the PIP. Part of the Managing the Federal Workplace in 2024: Dos and Don’ts for Supervisors webinar series, this class will detail the ins and outs of this requirement and share clear guidance and the effective, time-tested FELTG approach to handling unacceptable performance in 2024.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Gather the information needed prior the PIP process.
- Discern the difference between substantial and other types of evidence.
- Confidently handle unacceptable performance through the use of PIPs.

Course Description
If a federal employee is required to have access to classified information, then the employee must be eligible for a security clearance in order to keep that position. What happens when that employee no longer has that clearance? What role does the MSPB play? What proof does the agency need to provide if the employee appeals a removal? What are the pitfalls that agencies need to avoid?
During this two-hour virtual event, Ann Boehm will detail how to handle a security clearance revocation and any resulting indefinite suspension or removal from employment. Ms. Boehm spent 26 years as a government attorney, focusing primarily on employment and labor law in federal enforcement agencies, so she’s just the person to answer any questions you might have – and she’ll do so in this live event.
This is an important topic that can’t be ignored. Employee security clearances are a matter of national security, and they must be handled appropriately.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Identify and understand the executive orders pertaining to national security.
- Understand the National Security Adjudicative Guidelines.
- Recognize the agency’s burden when removing or suspending for failure to maintain a security clearance.
