Federal Employee Legal FAQs

What should I do if I receive a proposed removal notice?

Do not ignore it. Federal agencies generally must give at least 30 days’ advance written notice and a reasonable time (at least 7 days) to respond. Your reply can influence the final decision, so speak with a federal employment attorney before you respond.

How long do I have to file an MSPB appeal?

Generally 30 days from the effective date of the action (or from your receipt of the agency’s decision, if later). This deadline is strict, so contact an attorney immediately after a removal, suspension of more than 14 days, or demotion.

How long do I have to file a federal EEO complaint?

You must generally contact an EEO counselor within 45 days of the discriminatory act or personnel action. Missing this deadline can end your claim, so act quickly.

Should I file an MSPB appeal or an EEO complaint?

It depends on your situation. If you are challenging a serious adverse action and also allege discrimination, the case may be a “mixed case,” and the choice of forum affects your deadlines and options. An attorney can explain which path fits your facts.

What is a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) and can I challenge it?

A PIP is a formal notice that your performance is unacceptable and gives you a set period to improve. If it leads to removal, you may have appeal rights. Document your work, request clear expectations in writing, and consult an attorney early.

Am I protected if I report wrongdoing at my agency?

Federal whistleblower laws protect employees from retaliation for reporting violations of law, gross mismanagement, or dangers to public safety. Complaints can often be brought to the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) or through an MSPB appeal.

Can I challenge a security clearance denial or revocation?

Clearance decisions have limited review. You can usually respond to the agency and use its internal appeal process, and a lawyer can help you prepare a strong response. MSPB generally does not review the merits of the clearance decision itself.

Should I accept a buyout or early retirement offer?

Review it carefully first. A buyout (such as a deferred resignation or voluntary separation payment) may affect your retirement, benefits, and legal claims. Have the terms reviewed by an attorney before you accept.

Can I be fired after filing an EEO complaint or whistleblower report?

Retaliation for protected activity is prohibited. If you were disciplined or removed after filing a complaint or report, you may have a retaliation claim in addition to your other claims.
