Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the responsiveness of the Merit Systems Protection Board's (MSPB) Office of the Special Counsel to the complaints of whistleblowers, those federal employees who have taken career risks to expose fraud, waste, mismanagement, or illegality. GAO found that, while the Special Counsel does not believe his role is to represent the interests of individual whistleblowers, some employee representatives believe that the Office was established to support individual complainants. The Office's policies and procedures for processing and investigating complaints from federal employees emphasize timeliness and responsiveness. GAO found that whistleblower reprisal complaints rarely qualify for Special Counsel protection because exacting standards of proof are required to secure a judgment against an agency or a supervisor for taking whistleblower reprisal, and the Office did not close any of the cases it reviewed without reasonable grounds to do so. GAO found that the Office's measurable results are primarily settlements at the agency level. In late 1984, the Office prevailed in a case before the MSPB with the argument that supervisory officials are subject to discipline for prohibited personnel practices even if there were valid independent grounds for taking adverse action against an employee. Finally, GAO failed to find a specific legal hurdle that makes the Office's protections inapplicable to most complainants and that protections should be made stronger for individual whistleblowers or other employees who allege that they are victims of prohibited personnel practices. Ultimately, Congress must weigh the objective of stronger protection for whistleblower disclosures against the objectives of management authority and accountability.
Download or read book Whistleblower Complainants Rarely Qualify for Office of the Special Counsel Protection written by GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON DC GENERAL GOVERNMENT DIV. and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of the Special Counsel is an independent component of the Merit Systems Protection Board, charged by the Civil Service Reform Act with prosecuting violations of prohibited personnel practices--such as reprisal for whistleblowing--to secure both disciplinary and corrective action. The vast majority of complaints brought to the Special Counsel by federal employees are closed during the office's screening process. GAO examined a random sample of 76 whistleblower reprisal complaints closed by the Office of the Special Counsel in the past 2 years and found that each case file documented at least one defect that the office believed would prevent successful prosecution of the case under current law. Comparing the facts with the legal requirements for a successful prosecution, GAO found that the Office of the Special Counsel had reasonable grounds to close each case. In assessing the need for stronger whistleblower protections, the Congress should consider that the Office of the Special Counsel is only one of the institutions involved in deterring reprisals against legitimate whistleblowers.
