What are Prohibited Personnel Practices?
Prohibited personnel practices (PPP) refer to any actions by an employer that violate federal law, including discrimination, retaliation for whistleblowing, coercing political activity, or obstructing an individual's right to compete for employment. Our attorneys are well-versed in handling such cases with utmost diligence and professionalism.
Discrimination in Federal Employment
An employer cannot discriminate based on race/color, religion/creed, national origin/ancestry, sex/gender, disability status (physical or mental), age, marital status, or political affiliation. The U.S. Office of Special Counsel handles cases involving marital status and political affiliation, while complaints involving discrimination should go to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Our Tampa Bay PPP lawyers can help you file a complaint if you believe you have been a victim of discrimination in the federal workforce.
Protection Against Retaliation for Whistleblowing
If an employee reports misconduct within their organization either internally or externally - commonly known as whistleblowing - this PPP provides protection against retaliation from their employers. If these protections are violated in any way then it is considered a prohibited practice.
Coercion of Political Activity in the Workplace
This refers to using job influence to coerce an employee into participating in political activity. It is unlawful under the Hatch Act of 1939 which prevents federal employees from engaging in partisan politics while on duty.
Infringement on Employment Competition Rights
A person's right to fairly compete for employment should not be hindered. Any deliberate actions to obstruct someone's employment opportunities in the federal sector are considered prohibited practices.
