Removal or Suspension Action (MSPB)

The Merit Systems Protection Board

The U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) is a forum in which federal employee may appeal an adverse personnel action, such as removal, suspension, whistle-blower reprisal, or other detrimental actions. The MSPB generally acts after a final decision has been rendered by an agency more directly involved with the matter. The MSPB provides a trial regarding the adverse action appealed.  It is a forum similar in aspect to the federal courts and requires an attorney well-versed in federal law and personnel regulations for a successful appeal. The MSPB encourages parties to reach settlement when possible, but many times litigation is required.
