• After reviewing the Allegation Inquiry Report, if the Hiring Authority requests an AIU investigation or approval of direct adverse action, the Hiring Authority shall refer the case to AIU.

• An AIU manager, shall review the Allegation Inquiry Report, and in consultation with EAPT, and OIGOffice of the Inspector General staff for monitored cases, make one of the following decisions:

  • An AIU investigation is necessary for the evidence to be sufficient for the Hiring Authority to make findings and impose discipline if warranted; or

  • Further investigation is not likely to obtain additional evidence to support the imposition of discipline; or

  • A preponderance of evidence exists for approval of direct adverse action.

• If the Hiring Authority disagrees with an AIU manager’s decision, the disagreement may be elevated to the AIU Chief for a final decision.
