Merit Systems Protection Board, Performance Plan, Fiscal Year 2002 (Revised) and Fiscal Year 2003 (Final).

摘要

The Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) is an independent quasi-judicial agency established to protect Federal merit systems against partisan political and other prohibited personnel practices and to ensure adequate protection for employees against abuses by agency management. The Board carries out its statutory mission principally by: Adjudicating employee appeals of personnel actions over which the Board has jurisdiction, such as removals, suspensions, furloughs, and demotions; Adjudicating employee complaints filed under the Whistleblower Protection Act, the Uniformed Services Employment & Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), and the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act; Adjudicating cases brought by the Special Counsel, principally complaints of prohibited personnel practices and Hatch Act violations; Adjudicating requests to review regulations of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) that are alleged to require or result in the commission of a prohibited personnel practice-or reviewing such regulations on the Board's own motion; Ordering compliance with final Board orders where appropriate; and Conducting studies of the Federal civil service and other merit systems in the Executive Branch to determine whether they are free from prohibited personnel practices. In its Strategic Plan for FY 2001 - 2006, the Board has established five strategic goals for the accomplishment of its mission. These goals are set forth in the following pages, together with their associated performance goals for FY 2002 and FY 2003.
