VA employees would get the same disciplinary rules as other federal workers.
This bill would change how some Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) employees are disciplined. It would make the rules for firing, demoting, or suspending their pay the same as for most other federal government workers. This also means that VA healthcare staff would go back to the punishment rules they had before 2017.
Currently, some Department of Veterans Affairs employees, including those in the Veterans Health Administration, have special rules for being removed, demoted, or suspended. This bill would change that, making these VA employees subject to the same disciplinary policies as other federal government employees. It would also bring back the disciplinary and grievance procedures that Veterans Health Administration staff used before a 2017 law changed them.
