  • Whistleblower Protections for Federal Employees
    Whistleblower Protections for Federal Employees A Report to the President and the Congress of the United States by the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board September 2010 THE CHAIRMAN U.S. MERIT SYSTEMS PROTECTION BOARD 1615 M Street, NW Washington, DC 20419-0001 September 2010 The President President of the Senate Speaker of the House of Representatives Dear Sirs and Madam: In accordance with the requirements of 5 U.S.C. § 1204(a)(3), it is my honor to submit this U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board report, Whistleblower Protections for Federal Employees. The purpose of this report is to describe the requirements for a Federal employee’s disclosure of wrongdoing to be legally protected as whistleblowing under current statutes and case law. To qualify as a protected whistleblower, a Federal employee or applicant for employment must disclose: a violation of any law, rule, or regulation; gross mismanagement; a gross waste of funds; an abuse of authority; or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety. However, this disclosure alone is not enough to obtain protection under the law. The individual also must: avoid using normal channels if the disclosure is in the course of the employee’s duties; make the report to someone other than the wrongdoer; and suffer a personnel action, the agency’s failure to take a personnel action, or the threat to take or not take a personnel action. Lastly, the employee must seek redress through the proper channels before filing an appeal with the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board (“MSPB”). A potential whistleblower’s failure to meet even one of these criteria will deprive the MSPB of jurisdiction, and render us unable to provide any redress in the absence of a different (non-whistleblowing) appeal right.

  • Performance Appraisal and Terminations: a Review of Court Decisions Since Brito V
    PERSONNEL PSYCHOLOGY 1987. 40 PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL AND TERMINATIONS: A REVIEW OF COURT DECISIONS SINCE BRITO V. ZIA WITH IMPLICATIONS FOR PERSONNEL PRACTICES GERALD V. BARRETT The University of Akron MARY C. KERNAN Kent State University Court cases since the classic Brito v. Zia (1973) decision dealing with terminations based on subjective performance appraisals are reviewed. Professional interpretations of Brito v. Zia are aJso examined and crit- icized in light of professional practice and subsequent court decisions. Major themes and issues are distilled from the review of cases, and im- plications and recommendations for personnel practices were discussed. Legal issues pertaining to personnel decisions have received a great deal of attention in recent years (Cascio & Bemardin, 1981; Faley, Kleiman & Lengnick-Hall, 1984; Feild & HoUey, 1982; HoUey & Feild, 1975; Kleiman & Durham, 1981). As a result of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, any personnel practice that adversely affects certain classes of individuals is deemed unlawful unless justified by business necessity. The termination of an employee is probably the most critical personnel decision an organiza- tion can make. The United States is unique among industrialized countries in that terminations, or firings, are quite commonplace. While there are no accurate figures, approximately three million people are fired each year in the private sector (Stieber, 1984). Schreiber (1983) has estimated that 200,000 of these employees are fired "imfairly." In addition to Title VII, other statutes have been enacted to protect em- ployees against unjust termination and discrimination (Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967; National Labor Relations Act of 1935). In countering a charge of discrimination, the organization invariably claims that an alleged unfair termination resulted solely from poor job perfor- mance.

  • Managing Teacher Appraisal and Performance
    Managing Teacher Appraisal and Performance This book deals with the biggest single issue currently facing school managers, how they should appraise the performance of their staff and the implications of this process. Recent government initiatives have brought this matter to the fore and headteachers are now required by law to implement appraisal. This book brings together the latest thinking on the subject and places it directly in the context of school management. Managing Teacher Appraisal and Performance examines the ways in which various countries have tackled the issue, ranging from the ‘hire and fire’ approach, to concentrating on professional development. The book includes sections on school leadership, the professional development of teachers and the implications for the future of teacher appraisal and performance. The chapters are written by distinguished international academics, writers and researchers, who report and analyse the significance of their work in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, Singapore and the USA. This timely and authoritative book is essential reading for headteachers and school managers seeking guidance on the appraisal process.
