The client, a supervisor with the Dep’t of Veterans Affairs, received a proposed removal from Federal service for alleged misconduct. The agency “MITIGATED” the proposed penalty from removal to a two grade level demotion.
An appeal was filed with the MSPB challenging the action. Pursuant to the discovery process, the agency sought a settlement. Pursuant to the settlement, the agency RESCINDED the action and reassigned the client to a position of his choice at his original grade level.
