It’s a lingering myth: You can't fire a federal employee.

The truth is, you can put together removal and termination cases against employees and ensure they meet the legal, regulatory and contractual requirements for these actions. But you need to make sure that your actions will hold up in front of the MSPB or another third party's review.

This 90-minute audio conference gives you guidance on how to take disciplinary actions against problem employees and defend agency actions before third parties. Plus, you’ll gain valuable insights and perspectives from two former federal HR professionals who have advised several agencies on when and how to discipline employees.

Speakers Tim Dirks and Robert Gilson discuss why federal employees get fired and answer key questions such as:

• When can federal employees be fired?
• What steps need to be taken prior to terminating an employee?
• Can agencies win their cases when employees appeal?
• What about situations involving employees with medical issues?

Plus, you learn practical alternatives to firing federal employees that will still meet agency objectives, as well as ideas to successfully navigate the challenging termination process.
