PREPARING YOUR CASE

To facilitate our understanding of a case, and before OSLA can assess if and how we may assist, the following should be submitted along with the above three forms:

  • Copy of latest contract or personnel action form
  • Information concerning any contact with the Management Evaluation Unit, Ombudsman, Ethics Office, Staff Union, etc., including any attempts at informal resolution of a matter involving dissatisfaction with an administrative decision

The most essential relevant documentation either received or submitted in relation to the case should be provided, for example:

  • Any administrative decision to be contested, indicating the date of receipt
  • Written communications or submissions in relation to the matter
  • Any relevant evidence

DISCIPLINARY MATTERS

If the matter is disciplinary in nature, the following documentation and information should be provided:

  • The allegations of misconduct received, with all attachments including investigation reports and annexes
  • A draft response to those allegations
  • Any other submissions or correspondence in relation to the allegations, such as requests to comment on investigation report and staff member’s responses

CASE REVIEW

OSLA New York will review your documentation and will be in contact with you as soon as possible. Requests for assistance must be made only to the OSLA New York Office. Individual OSLA legal officers in duty stations away from New York are not authorized to accept cases directly on behalf of OSLA, although they may be available for informal inquiries or to offer summary advice.
