If you are an aggrieved federal agency employee, one option you may have is to file an administrative, or internal agency, grievance. These grievances are typically available for issues that cannot be resolved through other formal processes such as EEO complaints or adverse action appeals. An agency’s internal grievance process should not be confused with labor grievances filed under a union contract or collective bargaining agreement.
During the administrative grievance process, your agency will internally review your concerns and may attempt to resolve them. The options for relief are modest – generally the agency can only provide equitable relief, but not damages or attorney fees.
