With uncertainly at the MSPB and a continued push by the Trump administration to expedite the federal employee disciplinary process, solid documentation of the Douglas factors analysis is more important than ever — and essential to ensuring your penalty decisions stand up to review.

Get guidance from recognized Douglas factors expert Robert Erbe as he explains the Executive Orders from 2018 and recent OPM proposed rules that could significantly impact the Douglas analysis. With lessons from MSPB case law, you’ll learn how to consider and document each factor and leave with tips to avoid mistakes agencies commonly make.

Know how to create a thorough, written record of your penalty analysis — and minimize risks of reversal — with best practices to:

  • Work with the deciding official to ensure that all the factors are properly considered
  • Use various methods to document consideration of the Douglas factors, including bare-bones decision letters and Douglas factor worksheets
  • Weigh the pros and cons of different methods of putting together decision letters
  • Move disciplinary actions forward quickly without sacrificing thoughtful decision-making
  • And more!
