Csc Rules on Nepotism

Where can I find the nepotism provision? It was part of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, Pub. L. No. 95-454, 92 Stat. 1111. Like the other prohibited personnel practices (PPPs) discussed in this series, it is codified in 5 U.S.C. § 2302(b). Nepotism is addressed in the practice of forbidden personnel number 7. Specific restrictions on the employment of relatives are also set out in 5 U.S.C.

§ 3110, which precedes the codification of prohibited personnel practices. For there to be forbidden nepotism, there must be an act of advocacy. For example, in Wallace v. Department of Commerce, 106 M.S.P.R. 23, ¶ 2 (2007), Wallace was a high-ranking official who realized that her sister was interested in a position that fell under Wallace`s authority. Wallace told management that his sister was interested in applying for the vacancy and that “she withdrew from any contribution or involvement in the hiring process for the position and continued to search. Advice on how to ensure that a fair and impartial selection can be made. Wallace`s sister was eventually chosen for the position, but the board concluded that the NEPOTISM PPP did not take place because the agency “could not prove that Wallace`s mere presence in the chain of command” at the time of selection was a violation of nepotism law. Id. at p. 69. In other words, this case lacked the advocacy or action necessary to promote the sister`s employment.

A similar finding was made by the Chamber in Alexander v. Department of the Navy, 24 M.S.P.R. 621, 625 (1984), which concluded that the person to whom the complainant mentioned that his daughter was looking for work was not his subordinate and that there was no evidence that he had “spoken, recommended, praised or approved” his daughter`s employment. It is perhaps interesting to note that the prohibition of nepotism, for which relevant relationships are so clearly defined, does not include some modern relationships that, while non-marital, are just as close, such as unmarried couples (regardless of their sexual orientation). An undue preference involving such relationships would be prohibited under another PPP, for example PPP number 6. PPP number 7 also does not extend to the hiring of friends and acquaintances. See Special Counsel v. Nichols, 36 M.S.P.R. 445, 455 (1988).

How does the problem of forbidden nepotism arise in mspb cases? It is most often presented in two ways: as an indictment on the basis of which an employee was sanctioned for violating the prohibition (or the internal disciplinary prohibition of an organization similar to the PPP), or as an affirmative defense that action was taken in retaliation for the complainant who had denounced someone for a violation of nepotism. An example of the latter is Hudson v. Department of Veterans Affairs, 104 M.S.P.R. 283 (2006), in which the Commission noted that the appellant had made a non-frivolous claim that he had made a protected disclosure because a reasonable person in his position might believe that his superior was against 5 U.S.C. §§ 2302(b)(7) and 3110 violated by employing his son and/or helping to promote his son by promoting him in education, assuming these claims are true.

Yes. If their immediate family members are public servants, they may challenge their non-selection before the Public Service Commission Committee. Candidates from outside the public service can file a complaint with the Ombudsman`s office or file a complaint with the Manitoba Human Rights Commission. Managers, in consultation with human resources, must investigate and weigh the potential risks associated with hiring an immediate family member and determine whether the risks outweigh the benefits.

Yes, in some situations. The principles of merit, justice and fairness apply. The manager must determine whether hiring an existing employee`s immediate family member would have a negative impact on the operation or create a potential conflict of interest. The AIFM must also determine whether restrictions on the cooperation of relatives are based on legitimate business reasons. Managers, in consultation with HR, must weigh these two considerations before making a decision. See also the Conflict of Interest Policy.

What is the purpose of this provision? Nepotism comes from the Latin word for “nephew” and is defined as favoritism or favoritism shown on the basis of the family relationship. The civil service system is based on the idea that workers should be selected through fair and open competition and promoted on the basis of their individual merits. Since the passage of the Pendleton Act of 1883, in which the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) has its own roots, preference based on family relationships has been frowned upon; the Public Service Reform Act, 1978 expressly prohibited it. The prohibition is not absolute.
