Charging employees with falsification comes with the often-heavy burden of proving "intent to deceive." You need to know how to properly characterize employee misconduct and select a penalty that is not too harsh — or too lenient — so your decision stands up to legal scrutiny.
Falsification in the Federal Workplace is your one-stop guide to MSPB, federal circuit and Supreme Court case law surrounding falsification. Through clear-cut explanations of specific cases, you discover what actions agencies have taken and whether or not they were successful.
Plus, you learn how to develop the best strategy for handling falsification offenses, with expert guidance to help you:
- Accurately describe particular acts of misconduct
- Choose an appropriate penalty
- Avoid common charge minefields
- And more!
What's more, an entire section is devoted to alternative charges not requiring the proof of intent to deceive — so you can suggest alternatives when you believe a charge requiring proof of intent cannot be sustained.
