Ask the Lawyer received the following question (paraphrased for easier reading and clarity) from a reader on a legal matter that might be of interest to the entire audience.
Q:
Once an MSPB complaint has been settled, what rights does the complainant have to pursue a grievance on the same matter?
A:
The settlement agreement should have required you to waive your rights to continue to litigate the matter. So,you probably cannot also file a grievance.
