take, or threaten to take or fail to take,
a personnel action against an employee
or applicant because of disclosure of
information by that individual that is
reasonably believed to evidence
violations of law, rule or regulation;
gross mismanagement; gross waste of
funds; an abuse of authority; or a
substantial and specific danger to public
health or safety, unless disclosure of
such information is specifically
prohibited by law and such information
is specifically required by Executive
order to be kept secret in the interest of
national defense or the conduct of
foreign affairs.
Retaliation against an employee or
applicant for making a protected
disclosure is prohibited by 5 U.S.C.
2302(b)(8). If you believe that you have
been the victim of whistleblower
retaliation, you may file a written
complaint (Form OSC–11) with the U.S.
Office of Special Counsel at 1730 M
Street NW., Suite 218, Washington, DC
20036–4505 or online through the OSC
Web site—https://www.osc.gov.
Retaliation for Engaging in Protected
Activity
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Under the existing laws, each agency
retains the right, where appropriate, to
discipline a Federal employee for
conduct that is inconsistent with
Federal Antidiscrimination and
Whistleblower Protection Laws up to
and including removal. If OSC has
initiated an investigation under 5 U.S.C.
1214, however, according to 5 U.S.C.
1214(f), agencies must seek approval
from the Special Counsel to discipline
employees for, among other activities,
engaging in prohibited retaliation.
Nothing in the No FEAR Act alters
existing laws or permits an agency to
take unfounded disciplinary action
against a Federal employee or to violate
the procedural rights of a Federal
employee who has been accused of
discrimination.
