Federal Employee Case Support Services

Our Services Can Be Customized to Your Needs and Budget

Federal Employee Discipline & Suspensions

Suspensions without pay result in lost pay and may lead to higher penalties or termination. Your formal response is crucial for overturning or mitigating the suspension before a decision is made and establishing an appealable record. We'll prepare your written response, prepare you for the oral reply, and assist you in appealing any decision.

Proposed Removals & Federal Employee Terminations

A federal employment termination has serious immediate and long-term consequences for you and your family. We'll prepare your response to the deciding official seeking to prevent or mitigate the decision to terminate you and establish an evidentiary record for appeal, and then prepare your appeal to the appropriate forum such as MSPB, EEOC, or arbitration.

Federal EEO Complaints & Retaliation

Discrimination, unlawful harassment, retaliation, and improper denial of reasonable accommodation may provide a basis for a federal EEO complaint. We'll prepare your informal and formal complaint and claims, work with you through all stages of the complaint process to maximize your chances of resolving issues and obtaining compensation either through settlement or at hearing.

Federal Employee Reasonable Accommodation

FERS Disability Retirement

Federal Union & Steward Case Support

A Reasonable Accommodation request is more than a work adjustment. If denied or the process is convoluted, you can file an actionable EEO complaint. If a reasonable accommodation is improperly denied, the circumstances may provide a basis for an EEO complaint seeking compensatory damages and other available relief and may also implicate potential FERS disability-retirement options. Our experts will help you craft your RA request, develop supporting documentation, and set up your application for reconsideration and an EEOC complaint if needed.

You're facing a life-changing event, whether denied Reasonable Accommodation, unable to meet performance metrics for medical reasons, or terminated for "medical inability." Our consultants can advise and assist you in filing for FERS Disability Retirement and determining if the "Bruner Presumption" applies to your situation.

InformedFED helps federal unions strengthen member representation and steward capability through one-on-one situational training, group training, direct case support, strategic organizational consulting, writing assistance, and virtual or in-person training. We work behind the scenes so local union representatives remain the primary face of member representation. All services provided to unions are conducted by a former AFGE union president.

STEP 1:
Request a Free Consultation

Simply request a free consultation, with absolutely no obligation. You can choose a convenient date and time, or we can contact you. Please consider any applicable deadlines related to your issues, such as the 45-day period to file an EEO complaint or a deadline for a disciplinary response. Our consultants need a reasonable lead time.

Note: Under 29 C.F.R. § 1614.105(a)(1), an aggrieved federal employee generally must initiate contact with an EEO Counselor within 45 days of the discriminatory matter or effective date of the personnel action, subject to applicable exceptions and extensions. A formal complaint is generally due within 15 days after receipt of the notice of the right to file (29 C.F.R. § 1614.106(b)).
