Under the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (5 USC Chapter 75), which of the following is NOT considered an "adverse action" that triggers due process protections?

Question

Accepted Answer

Under 5 USC Chapter 75, adverse actions include: removal, suspension for MORE than 14 days, reduction in grade, reduction in pay, and furlough for 30 days or less. A 10-day suspension falls under the threshold and gets different, more limited procedures. For the FEMA employees: if their administrative leave exceeds 14 days (which it has, since August 2025), DHS must provide written notice of charges, explanation of evidence, opportunity to respond, and appeal rights to MSPB.
