EEOC vs. MSPB: Know the Difference
EEOC Hearings
For discrimination complaints based on protected characteristics
- • Race, sex, religion, disability, age claims
- • Independent Administrative Judge
- • Full discovery rights including depositions
MSPB Appeals
For adverse actions and prohibited personnel practices
- • Removals, suspensions, demotions
- • Whistleblower reprisal
- • Performance-based actions
Mixed Cases
Adverse action + discrimination claim. Special rules apply—strategic forum selection matters.
Critical Deadlines
⚠️ These deadlines are strictly enforced—no extensions.
