SUMMARY:MSPB Law Week
DESCRIPTION:Change happens in the world of Federal employee relations\, and it often comes quickly. Those who succeed continuously sharpen their MSPB skills and refresh their knowledge. Those who don’t fall behind. FELTG’s MSPB Law Week provides an all-encompassing week of training that offers the most effective guidance and up-to-date information available. \nMonday\, Sept. 9: The Foundations of Accountability; Adverse Actions\nLet’s start with the backbone (and statutory basis) of accountability – the Civil Service Reform Act and related statutes and regulations. We’ll discuss the five elements of every disciplinary case and the burdens of proof\, the critical aspects of penalty selection and defense\, and discipline procedures and appeals. \nTuesday\, Sept. 10: Disciplinary Charges\nWe will continue to our discussion on due process and then jump into the types of charges\, parts of a charge\, and how charges are interpreted by the MSPB. Learn all you need to know about charging\, including the difficulty of proving the “intent” charge element and alternative options to difficult charges. \nWednesday\, Sept. 11: Defensible Penalties\nHow in the world do you know the appropriate penalty for a Federal employee who engaged in misconduct? We’ll answer that question for you as we dive into MSPB and Federal Circuit lead cases in penalty determination. Discussion will include getting “intent” penalties off of “non-intent” charges\, proving harsh penalties off of vanilla charges\, penalty mitigation\, and more. \nThursday\, Sept. 12:  Handling Unacceptable Performance\nThe focus shifts to unacceptable performance actions today. We’ll discuss drafting defensible performance standards\, collecting proper documentation\, implementing a demonstration period (DP) or PIP\, defeating the performance rollercoaster\, and the impact of the 2021 Santos v. NASA decision. \nFriday\, Sept. 13: Defending Against Whistleblower Reprisal Claims and other Affirmative Defenses\nMSPB Law Week closes with guidance on the complex issue of whistleblower reprisal complaints. We’ll cover the categories of protected disclosures\, actions that could constitute retaliation\, and the Carr analysis\, plus claims of harmful error\, reprisal for union activity\, and excessive penalty findings. \nLearning objectives\n\nDifferentiate between misconduct and unacceptable performance.\nAvoid common charging mistakes.\nConduct an effective Douglas factor analysis.\nRemove an unacceptable performer in 31 days.\nRecognize the categories of protected disclosures.\n\nTraining time\n12:30 pm – 4:30 pm ET each day \nPricing\nEarly bird (register by Aug. 9\, 2024) \n\n5 days = $1\,740\n4 days = $1\,505\n3 days = $1\,130\n2 days = $855\n1 day = $525\n\nStandard (register through Sept. 13\, 2024) \n\n5 days = $1\,840\n4 days =$1\,605\n3 days = $1\,230\n2 days = $955\n1 day = $625\n\nEvent FAQs\nCan I attend this class using my government computer?\nThis event will be held on Zoom.
