SUMMARY:Damages and Remedies in Federal Sector EEO Cases
DESCRIPTION:A fundamental rule in findings of discrimination is to\, as nearly as possible\, place the victim in the position that person would have occupied but for the discrimination. But how? \nThere’s no way to undo the harm caused by illegal employment discrimination. That’s why every EEO practitioner needs to understand the concepts of damages and remedies whether they’re writing a Final Agency Decision\, preparing for hearing\, or negotiating a settlement agreement. \nLearning objectives\n\nDifferentiate among the types of compensatory damages.\nDiscuss how the level of harm is directly related to damages and approximate an appropriate damages award if necessary.\nList the five principles of damages and learn how to mitigate damages.\n\nEvent FAQs\nIs there any flexibility with course durations for Agency Direct training?  \nYes.

SUMMARY:These are the Cases You Really Should Settle
DESCRIPTION:We get it. You don’t want to look like you did something wrong. But here’s the thing: Settling a case does not mean there were flaws in your case\, nor is it an admittance of liability or wrongdoing. \nThis training will explain why so many disputes are settled and why it’s advantageous to both parties.

SUMMARY:What Exactly is Undue Hardship Anymore?
DESCRIPTION:When faced with a particularly challenging request for a reasonable accommodation\, you may want to claim it’s an undue hardship. Don’t.

SUMMARY:Everything You Need to Know About Probationary Periods
DESCRIPTION:On the surface\, probationary periods seem rather simple\, but with the addition of Executive Order 14284: Strengthening Probationary Periods in the Federal Service (April 24\, 2025)\, new regulations and OPM guidance\, and ongoing litigation\, there are novel processes your agency must follow. Plus\, probationary appeal rights have been limited even further by Civil Service Rule XI. \nUnder the new requirements the termination of a probationer is automatic unless the agency certifies\, in writing\, that finalizing the individual’s appointment advances the public interest. What does that certification look like? Must you notify employees in advance of their probationary period coming to an end? Can you discipline or PIP someone during their probationary period? Can probationers ever have MSPB appeal rights – and if so\, under what circumstances? \nThis course will answer all your questions about probationary periods\, and with all the recent changes it’s one you can’t afford to miss. \nLearning objectives\n\nIdentify the similarities and differences between probationary periods and trial periods.\nUnderstand how the supervisory probationary period is different from the initial appointment probationary period.\nDetermine when it is appropriate to separate a probationer\, and what process is required.\n\nEvent FAQs\nIs there any flexibility with course durations for Agency Direct training?  \nYes. Many agencies have requested that full-day courses be taught over two half-days to ensure maximum engagement\, especially when the course is being taught virtually. Any course can be spread out over multiple days or condensed into shorter sessions.

SUMMARY:Drafting Enforceable and Legally Sufficient Settlement Agreements
DESCRIPTION:Most Federal agencies settle employment disputes — whether they initiate as grievances\, EEO complaints\, or as appeals of agency disciplinary actions. While it’s common to assume that settlement means the agency has a flaw in its case\, it has no direct tie to liability or admissions of wrongdoing. Often\, it’s the most efficient and effective way to handle a dispute and allow you to get back to focusing on your agency’s mission. \nThis class will discuss the roles and responsibilities of individuals involved in settlement discussions and will cover why and when you should consider settlement as an option. Concepts including confidentiality\, legality\, and enforceability will be explained. \nThis training will also cover specific settlement terms that may be negotiated including references\, compensatory damages\, reinstatement or promotions\, modifications to benefits\, clean records\, and more. \nLearning objectives\n\nImplement best practices in drafting plain language agreements.\nStructure a possible agreement.\nIdentify the limits on settlement terms.\n\nEvent FAQs\nIs there any flexibility with course durations for Agency Direct training?  \nYes. Many agencies have requested that full-day courses be taught over two half-days to ensure maximum engagement\, especially when the course is being taught virtually. Any course can be spread out over multiple days or condensed into shorter sessions.

SUMMARY:Feds Gone AWOL: What to Do When Employees Don’t Show Up
DESCRIPTION:You can’t discipline an employee for AWOL unless it has reached a certain number of days. Employees can’t be removed for AWOL. You can’t be charged AWOL for time that you were physically present in the office. None of these statements are true; they are AWOL myths. \nThis training will deconstruct the mystery of Absence Without Leave (and its companion charge\, Unauthorized Absence)\, shatter the aforementioned myths\, and offer strategies for agencies to take when an employee doesn’t show up for work. Plus\, we’ll discuss the emerging issue of charging AWOL when an employee is on telework. \nLearning objectives\n\nUnderstand the elements of the charges Absent Without Leave and Unauthorized Absence.\nDetermine reasonable penalties when AWOL is charged.\nIdentify situations where a perceived AWOL might be another type of absence.\n\nEvent FAQs\nIs there any flexibility with course durations for Agency Direct training?  \nYes. Many agencies have requested that full-day courses be taught over two half-days to ensure maximum engagement\, especially when the course is being taught virtually. Any course can be spread out over multiple days or condensed into shorter sessions.

SUMMARY:Got Nexus? Accountability for Off-duty Conduct
DESCRIPTION:The borderline between on-duty and off-duty has become increasingly blurred with the omnipresence of social media and many employees working flexible hours from home. Yet\, one thing has remained clear and constant: If you’re going to discipline someone for what they do on their own time\, you need to show a nexus between the employee’s actions and their Federal job. \nThis class will help you untangle the most challenging off-duty misconduct scenarios and illustrate the situations where the conduct is so egregious as to create a rebuttable presumption of nexus. \nLearning objectives\n\nDemonstrate how certain off-duty conduct impacts the efficiency of the service.\nUnderstand how Douglas factor eight: Notoriety and Agency Reputation can create nexus.\nSelect an effective and defensible penalty for off-duty misconduct.\n\nEvent FAQs\nIs there any flexibility with course durations for Agency Direct training?  \nYes. Many agencies have requested that full-day courses be taught over two half-days to ensure maximum engagement\, especially when the course is being taught virtually. Any course can be spread out over multiple days or condensed into shorter sessions.
