Authority of General Services Administration to Restore Sanctioned Employees to Prior Grades
The document discusses a disciplinary matter involving three employees of the General Services Administration (GSA) who were charged with theft and subsequently suspended and demoted. The conclusion reached in the document is that GSA has the authority to restore the employees to their prior grades based on possible legal bases, including the back-pay statute and Civil Service Commission's regulations. The document presents questions for review, including whether GSA has the authority to restore the employees to their prior grades and whether any remedial action should be taken. It is suggested that the matter be referred to GSA for further consideration.
