A 2009 MSPB order adopted the EEOC’s disability discrimination finding in a removal case and explains why accommodation timelines and FAA back pay rules can change the remedy path.
A federal employee’s removal for “physical inability to perform” was reversed when the MSPB found the agency treated a male coworker more leniently under an informal light-duty practice. This decision shows how comparator evidence can matter in real-world federal workplaces.

Even after an EEOC win, the next challenge can be enforcement—job offers, back pay calculations, and whether the agency actually complied. This decision explains why offsets and documentation matter, and why enforcement is limited to what the original order required.
In an EEOC decision involving a federal employee’s telework accommodation request, the Commission found a ten month delay was unreasonable and remanded for compensatory damages. The EEOC also ordered reimbursement for hearing transcript costs—an important reminder that process rights matter.
