In your Myths and Facts document, you state, 'DoD is developing a process that will allow employees to request reconsideration of their rating to a higher authority. This process will apply to all employees under NSPS. Under current law, employees in the same organization are often subject to different procedures and avenues when challenging performance ratings. This sometimes results in inconsistent decisions. Because of the importance of the performance rating process and its impact on pay, DoD will ensure that every employee has the same opportunity to seek appropriate redress.' Without independent 3rd party review and with the Secretary able to override MSPB and the FLRA, the procedure for grievances is still in place, but not on a level playing field.
