Background & Context

3 stories

2.1

Hatch Act restrictions that catch federal employees off-guard.

Less-restricted federal employees may engage in partisan political activity off-duty — but never on-duty, never in the workplace, never using government property, and never while wearing identifying agency clothing. Social media posts from a personal device while on duty count as on-duty activity.

Why It Matters

Hatch Act violations carry penalties from reprimand to removal. Career employees with strong records have been removed for posts that took 30 seconds to write at lunch.

2.2

Bid-protest deadlines run from knowledge, not award.

Federal GAO and most state procurement protest windows start running when the protester "knew or should have known" of the basis for protest — often before formal award notice. The clock can be days, not weeks. Waiting for the official "you lost" email is the single most-common reason valid protests get dismissed for timeliness.

Why It Matters

A late protest is dead on arrival regardless of merit. The vendor with grounds to protest needs to act on solicitation defects before submitting a bid, not after losing.

2.3

Records-retention schedules: the silent compliance trap.

Most agencies have records-retention schedules that prescribe minimum and maximum hold periods for each record series. Discarding too early (below minimum) violates state records law; holding too long (above maximum) creates discovery exposure and storage cost. Both errors are routine.

Why It Matters

Records litigation typically lands between the minimum and maximum boundaries — the gray zone where the schedule could go either way. A consistently followed schedule is the best defense against claims of selective retention.
