OPM Employee Rights and Appeals

OPM provides policy guidance and advice to agencies governmentwide on such topics as taking performance-based actions and adverse actions. They develop, implement, and communicate policies and regulations. In addition, they provide guidance on other topics such as alternative dispute resolution, reasonable accommodations, and appeal rights to include employee coverage and affirmative defenses. They also advise the Director on exercising OPM's statutory authority to intervene or seek reconsideration for erroneous third-party decisions.
