Presented by Robert P. Erbe

When determining a penalty it’s important to take the Douglas factors into consideration, but your decisions must extend beyond them as well.

In 90-minutes, federal employment law attorney Robert Erbe will walk you through all the factors involved in proposing appropriate penalty that will survive third party scrutiny. Mr. Erbe not only addresses the penalty at the time of the decision letter, but also at proposal letter time.

After this seminar you’ll be better equipped to:

• Explain the purpose of discipline
• Discuss recent MSPB case law regarding penalty decisions
• Identify the seven “Just Cause” factors
• Advise managers on the proposed penalty
• Determine a proposed and final penalty
• Consider the “litigation” factor and looking at the case post-decision time
• Handle the proposed penalty after the oral or written reply
