Assisting Federal Employees
If you are a federal government employee, you have a significant number of employment protections that the employees of private employers do not necessarily have. However, you may have to go through a complex process to preserve those protections.
At Biesecker & Dutkanych, LLC, we are experienced at working through the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) processes and meeting the very tight time constraints and deadlines that exist within those systems.
Understanding Unique Indiana and Kentucky Laws
State government employees in both Indiana and Kentucky have specific workplace rights and in many cases must follow alternative processes for resolving workplace conflicts.
In Indiana, the State Employees' Appeals Commission allows state government employees to appeal certain adverse employment decisions. In Kentucky, government employees have certain constitutional protections that do not apply in private employment situations.
An attorney who has only handled private employment law cases may not be familiar with the separate procedures for resolving government employment disputes. We understand the unique legal situations faced by government employees.
