Federal government jobs are highly sought after for their competitive benefits, job security and opportunities for career advancement.

The Bay Area federal employee attorney at Bryan Schwartz Law, P.C. is dedicated to navigating these challenges and protecting federal employees’ rights.

The Legal Complexities of Federal Employment

Unique Challenges for Federal Employees

Federal employment presents its own set of legal hurdles distinct from private-sector employment. Federal employees are subject to specific regulations and protections under various federal statutes such as the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) Complaints

The MSPB safeguards federal employees against unjust actions such as suspensions, demotions and removals. If you are given a proposed suspension greater than 14 days, reduced pay, are demoted or removed, you have the right to an oral and written reply to the proposal. Should the agency proceed with the action, you can appeal within 30 days to the MSPB. The agency bears the burden of proving its case for the action to remain in force. Bryan Schwartz Law, P.C. has extensive experience representing clients in MSPB proceedings, helping to pursue fair treatment and due process.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Complaints

Federal employees also have robust protections against discrimination under the EEOC. If you face workplace discrimination, you must contact your agency’s EEO counselor within 45 days to file an informal complaint. Bryan Schwartz Law, P.C. assists clients throughout this process, from the initial complaint to resolution, ensuring their rights are upheld. Our team has successfully litigated numerous cases, compelling agencies to rectify discriminatory practices and compensate affected employees.
