Protecting the Rights of Federal Employees

Federal employees need to understand that their Constitutional rights are not lost as a condition of being employed by the government. You have many protected rights, such as:

  • The right to free speech under the First Amendment
  • Whistleblower rights under the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act which protects you from retaliation for disclosing wrongdoing by your employer
  • The right to equal employment opportunities regardless of characteristics such as race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex, or disability per the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
  • The right to disability retirement for those who qualify
  • The right to equal pay for equal work
  • The right to be free from sexual harassment and other harassment in the federal workplace
  • The right to compete for jobs for military “preference” veterans under the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act of 1998 
  • The right to challenge adverse actions through due process

The above is not a complete list. If you believe your rights have been violated in any way as a federal employee, you should consult with one of our attorneys who can advise you.

Typically, federal government employees must go through an administrative process before filing a lawsuit against their employer for violations of their rights. This process commonly involves an investigation as well as an administrative hearing, after which you can appeal any decision or choose to file a lawsuit in District Court.

It is important to contact a Phoenix federal employee attorney as soon as possible if you are considering taking action against your employer. This is because the administrative deadlines are very strict in these cases, and many of these lawsuits can be very complex.
