DHS OIG Settles Suspension After Lack of Evidence that Deciding Official Considered Douglas Factors

In the fall of 2020, a Special Agent with the DHS Office of Inspector General received a one-page decision letter suspending the employee from duty for 30-days. Upon review of the decision letter, Mr. Erbe recognized that the decision letter failed to articulate a conscious consideration of the Douglas Factors. As a result, Mr. Erbe filed an MSPB appeal on behalf of the employee and waived the right to a hearing. This strategic move caught the agency flat footed and resulted in a reduction of the suspension to 10 calendar days.
