SUMMARY:Writing Final Agency Decisions
DESCRIPTION:A Final Agency Decision is appealable\, by the complainant\, to the EEOC. And EEOC case law is filled with reversals of agency FADs that found no discrimination. This class will teach you how to write an effective and defensible FAD\, which requires thorough knowledge and understanding of discrimination law\, as it is uniquely applied to the Federal workplace. \nTuesday\, Nov. 19: Applying Theories of Discrimination\nAttendees will learn all they need to know to write an effective FAD\, including identifying and avoiding the hazards that often lead to the EEOC reversals that plague so many agencies. This class provides the fundamentals of discrimination law – the starting point if you want to avoid the common difficulties that lead to EEOC reversals. \nWednesday\, Nov. 20: Writing the Decision\nNow it’s time to write the FAD. After a discussion of timeliness issues\, we’ll dive into exercises including practice writing and deconstruction of an agency FAD. \nLearning objectives\n\nIdentify the statutory bases and theories of employment discrimination.\nEffectively compare and contrast in the “analysis” section.\nChoose words and phrases that make for a more effective and defensible FAD.\n\nTraining time\n1:00 pm – 4:30 pm ET each day \nPricing\nEarly bird (register by Oct. 18\, 2024) \n\n2 days = $855\n1 day = $525\n\nStandard (register through Nov. 20\, 2024) \n\n2 days = $955\n1 day = $625\n\nEvent FAQs \nCan I attend this class using my government computer? \nThis event will be held on Zoom.
