Question

The Office of the Special Counsel is an independent Federal agency that investigates complaints of prohibited personnel practices other than those enforced by the EEOC under the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. True or False?

Answer 1

The Office of the Special Counsel does not investigate complaints of prohibited personnel practices under the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is False. The Office of the Special Counsel does not investigate complaints of prohibited personnel practices under the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. Instead, the Office of the Special Counsel investigates complaints of prohibited personnel practices under the Hatch Act, which is a federal law that restricts the political activity of federal employees, and other laws related to federal employees. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces complaints of employment discrimination and protected personnel practices under the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978.
