| COURSE | 2016-06-29 | ||
| Douglas Factors are used to decide the final penalty, but there is no guidance on setting the proposed penalty. This is important because it establishes the penalty ceiling. Too high of a penalty may cause the agency to lose credibility. Too low of a penalty can come back and haunt the agency, especially with regards to disparate treatment claims. Do not propose a penalty you are not willing to sustain. The MSPB is taking an aggressive, closer look at proof that agencies have conducted a thorough Douglas Factor analysis in determining the reasonableness of your penalty selection. If you arent conducting a proper analysis for each case, youre at serious risk of a judge mitigating your penalty selections. In this course, you learn how to balance the aggravating and mitigating circumstances to determine a reasonable penalty through a proper Douglas Factor analysis that wont have your penalty overturned. This unique scenario-based resource breaks down each of the 12 Douglas Factors to show you how no factor alone can justify a reasonable penalty determination. Through explanations of each factor and details on how it applies to realistic situations, you gain a solid understanding of what the MSPB looks for when reviewing the agencys penalty determination. | |||
