How Are Prohibited Personnel Practice Complaints Handled?

Federal regulations ensure that all employees of the federal government are treated fairly at their work by creating a list of practices which federal agencies may not engage in, known as prohibited personnel practices. When an employee suspects that their federal employer has engaged in one of these prohibited practices, they may file a complaint to the agency assigned to investigate these claims, the Office of Special Counsel (OSC).

If you or someone you know has experienced unfair treatment from a federal employer, an experienced legal professional can help you navigate the process of filing a prohibited personnel practice complaint. Contact the federal employment lawyers of the Vaughn Law Firm today at 877-615-9495 to discuss your situation and learn more about your legal options.

Complaint Response

After an individual officially files a prohibited personnel practice complaint, they will receive at least one of the following responses:

  • A letter that acknowledges receipt of the complaint, and an information sheet explaining how the complaint will be processed.
  • A status report 90 days after the filing of the complaint, with any other necessary reports occurring in 60 day periods.
  • A letter if the complaint is referred to the Investigation and Prosecution division.
  • A letter explaining that no further action will be taken.

In almost every instance, the OSC will take one of the above-listed actions upon receiving a complaint.
