The U.S. Office of Special Counsel has not been consistently processing cases within statutory time limits, creating backlogs. Because the backlogs are of concern to the Congress, this report provides information on how many cases were processed within statutory time limits, the actions taken by OSC to address case processing delays and backlog, and the agency's perspective on the adequacy of its resources and our analysis of this perspective. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-36/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-36.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-36/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-36.pdf GAO-04-36 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-36 Other Written Product GAO-04-36; U.S. Office of Special Counsel: Strategy for Reducing Persistent Backlog of Cases Should Be Provided to Congress; Agency proceedings Federal employees Personnel management Statutory limitation Strategic planning Whistleblowers Schedule slippages Prohibited personnel practices Timeliness Title 5 Section 2302(b) 5 U.S.C. 2302(b) Public Law 103-94 Public Law 103-424
