MSPB Reverses Two GSA Removals Over 2010 Conference Spending

In a high-profile dispute tied to a widely criticized conference, the MSPB reversed two removals after finding the agency didn’t prove the executives knew—or should have known—about the questioned spending.

MSPB Case: Due Process Errors Can Undo a Federal Removal

An MSPB decision reversed a federal nurse’s removal after the agency issued the decision without allowing a timely requested oral reply—while still rejecting a disability discrimination defense. Here’s what federal employees can learn about process rights and accommodation evidence.

When a Forced Reassignment Leads to Removal: A Federal Circuit Reminder

A Federal Circuit decision vacated an MSPB ruling that upheld a Postal Service removal after an involuntary reassignment. The court said the Board must compare whether removal is truly more efficient than returning the employee to work he previously performed successfully.

When a Removal Follows EEO Activity: What an MSPB Decision Shows

An MSPB decision reversed an arbitrator and ordered reinstatement after finding the agency did not prove falsification—and that the removal was retaliatory in light of ongoing EEO activity. Here’s what federal employees can take from the reasoning.

MSPB Reverses Removal After Ex Parte Evidence Undermined Due Process

An MSPB decision reversed a federal employee’s removal after the deciding official considered undisclosed, off-the-record information that affected credibility. Here’s what happened and why due process details can matter in high-stakes adverse actions.

MSPB Reverses Air Force Removal Tied to a Security Clearance Claim

The MSPB reversed an Air Force removal tied to a security clearance claim after finding the agency didn’t prove the job actually required a clearance. Here’s what federal employees can learn about evidence, job requirements, and process.

MSPB Reverses a Removal Based on “Possession” Assumptions

An MSPB administrative judge reversed a removal where the agency alleged possession of marijuana on government property—but the evidence showed the marijuana belonged to the employee’s spouse. Here’s what federal employees can learn about proof, assumptions, and protecting your career when discipline hits.

MSPB Removal Reversed: The Leatherbury v. Army Decision Explained

A Federal Circuit decision shows how “falsification” charges can fail when an agency can’t prove a statement was actually false—or when good-faith credibility findings are improperly overturned.

MSPB Lawyers: Bipolar Disorder Removal Reversed in Army Case

An MSPB decision reversed a removal based on bipolar disorder, emphasizing evidence that medication controlled symptoms and that the employee could perform the job. The case highlights how medical evidence and treatment compliance can shape “inability to perform” and disability-discrimination defenses.
