Examples of Mixed Cases

The following actions are appealable to the MSPB by Postal Service employees:

• Failure to restore to duty after full or partial recovery from a compensable work-related injury.
• Adverse personnel action against an employee with 1 or more years of current continuous service in the same or a similar position and who is one or both of the following:
• Eligible for veterans’ preference.
• An employee covered by Public Law 100-90, Postal Employee Appeal Rights Act of 1987, which includes postmasters, employees in supervisory positions, a limited group of management employees, and some employees in confidential positions.

Adverse personnel actions include:

• Suspension of more than 14 days.
• Reduction in grade, pay, or both.
• Furlough of 30 days or less.
• Constructive discharge.
• Removal.
• Reduction in force (only if the employee is a preference eligible).

If any of these actions occurred and you believe the Postal Service acted because of discrimination, you have a mixed case.
