Chapter 4. Statutory and Collective Bargaining Claims

4.1 Relationship with Statutory and Collective Bargaining Protections

This NPR is in addition to statutory and collective bargaining protections for individuals with disabilities qualified to perform the essential functions of a job, with or without reasonable accommodation, and the remedies they provide for the denial of requests for reasonable accommodation. Requirements governing the initiation of statutory and collective bargaining claims, including time frames for filing such claims, remain unchanged.

4.2 Statutory Anti-Discrimination Remedies

Individuals who choose to pursue statutory anti-discrimination remedies for denial of a request for reasonable accommodation must contact an EEO counselor at their respective installation within 45 days from the date of receipt of the written notice of denial or denial of appeal. ²³ (See 29 CFR § 1614.105(a)(1).)

4.3 EO Supervisory Recusals

NASA EO Directors or designees shall recuse themselves from the processing of their employees' informal and/or formal EEO complaints on the same reasonable accommodation matter that the EO Directors or designees decided.

²³ See also Section 3.2.10(a) for situations in which a supervisor is non-responsive.
