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.
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.
Most state open-meeting laws require posted notice with sufficient specificity for the public to know what is being decided. Generic "discussion of personnel matters" or "old business" descriptions routinely fail challenge, voiding any vote taken on items not specifically noticed.
A voided action requires a re-vote at a properly noticed meeting — including any contract execution that depended on it. Counterparties to voided contracts have leverage they did not have before the defect surfaced.
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.
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.
