Merit Systems Protection Board Strategic Plan FY 2001-FY 2006 (Revised to Include Interim Adjustment Submitted with FY 2003-FY 2004 Performance Plan)

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. To accomplish its mission, the MSPB has established the following goals: 1. To consistently provide fair, timely, and efficient adjudication of cases filed with the Board; 2. To make effective use of alternative methods of dispute resolution in Board proceedings; 3. To provide information, analyses, and recommendations on Federal personnel programs, policies, and initiatives to policymakers, Federal agencies and employees, and others with an interest in Federal human resources management; 4. To strengthen the MSPB's internal systems and processes to support a continually improving, highly effective and efficient organization with the flexibility to meet program needs; and 5. To develop the MSPB's human resources to ensure a continually improving, highly effective and efficient organization with the flexibility to meet program needs.
