Don’t forget to restore annual leave and sick leave

After a complainant wins their EEOC claim, the judge can give an award of back pay, future pay, as well as restoring sick leave and annual leave that would make whole.

Figuring out how much your federal agency owes you, and how much sick leave and annual leave should be restored, should not be left for the agency to decide without your input.

While the administrative judge decides how much time after the final decision has been made on your EEOC discrimination claim to give the agency to make things right, if you don’t promptly answer, it will be decided that you agree with the calculation errors that the federal agency has made on your behalf.

Often times the calculation errors have under valued what you should really have received as part of your reward. The agency does this on purpose, and hope you don’t complain farther. Most people don’t complain and its just one more way your federal agency has taken advantage of you. What else have the agency fought to reduce in the award the administrative judge has decided in your favor?

The amount of reduction of your award is something the federal agency fights vigorously to lower at every step and process in the EEOC discrimination claim.

Within sixty (60) days of the date of this agreement, the Agency shall restore 256 hours of annual leave and 293 hours of sick leave to Complainant’s leave account. Are these number of hours correct, and did you have any input on telling the agency what you found was the correct amount of leave to restore to sick leave and annual leave hours.

Often times the agency will have calculation errors, that if you don’t catch in time, you will have to live with those errors, and live with a lower reward than what you should be given to make whole your EEOC discrimination claim.

What is the actual dollar amount value of sick leave and annual leave, when figuring out back pay and future pay?
