[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just correcting a few errors:

1.  In the post immediately above it says that it takes "at least 45 days" to remove someone for misconduct.  Not true.  It takes at least 31 days.
2.  In another post someone said that you must go through at least two people, a proposing and deciding official.  Only half true.  You need a proposing and deciding official, but there is no legal prohibition on the same individual filling both roles.
3.  You do not have to conduct a PIP in order to remove a poor performer.  You can skip the PIP process and take a Chapter 75 misconduct action with a charge of poor performance.  I've done it and it works.

To the OP, there are very few government-wide "fireable offenses."  Failure to maintain a condition of employment is the only one I can think of.  (Losing a security clearance, losing a bar license, losing a drivers license, firearm license, etc.).  Lack of Candor or False Statements will also almost always get you there.  I suggest checking your particular agencies Standards of Conduct and/or Table of Penalties, if you have one.

1. I wrote that it takes 45 days.  I didn't say that was a legal requirement.  I meant in practical terms. You're being too literal.

2.  Although one could use the same person as proposing/deciding official legally, I know of no agency that would be dumb enough to do so.

3. I have also done misconduct charges for Negligent Performance of Duties.  But that's not a performance based action.  It's still conduct.[/quote]
