The new 2009 edition contains entirely updated material. Each chapter has been expanded. The book discusses the McCormick/Van Wersch jurisdictional issues and alternate ways of framing charges from Crouse/LaChance. The text explains the technical and complex world of adverse actions, offering a thorough yet practical guide to removals, demotions, suspensions, and short furloughs against statutorily protected employees in the federal civil service. Designed for managers and personnel specialists involved in all stages of the agency decisional processes, the text guides readers through the complexities of five sequential elements of an Adverse Action: jurisdiction, cause, penalty, proof, and procedures. Additional chapters cover the common and difficult situations including off-duty conduct, medical bases for adverse actions, criminal conduct, and performance failures.
