The U.S. Department of the Navy proposed to remove our client for Unacceptable Performance after he allegedly failed to complete a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). In our response, we argued that the agency held the employee to an unreasonably high standard of performance and that the employee had met the PIP requirements. Based on our arguments, the deciding official rescinded the proposed removal and determined that our client did perform at an acceptable level during the PIP. The client remained in his position.
