Presented by Sam Vitaro

The number of whistleblower cases continues to rise, and fewer reprisal cases are being dismissed. Since the introduction of the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act, there is new case law interpreting agencies’ responsibilities — and critical lessons you need to learn to defend personnel actions in your own agency’s whistleblower cases.

Sam Vitaro will take you through new rulings, looking at whether the case outcomes satisfied the promise of protecting employees who disclose wrongdoing. You’ll be better prepared to properly represent your agency with guidance to:

Address jurisdictional or threshold issues at the MSPB
Distinguish covered disclosures from non-covered disclosures
Determine which procedure to elect — CBA and arbitration, IRA, or MSPB appeal
Understand the relevant evidence necessary to make a prima facie case
Avoid common problems with nondisclosure policies
And more!
