Legal Answers
- Q. As a federal employee, are Kalkines and Garritty violations grounds for Federal Tort Claims Act based legal action ?
- A: Dear federal employee:
I'm sorry to hear you went through this situation. Unfortunately, I don't think an attorney will be able to give you a definitive answer based upon the information you've provided. You ask if "Kalkines" and "Garrity" violations are grounds for a legal claim (you state FTCA claim - but I assume you mean any sort of legal claim).

- Q. I am vital postal employee. I have used up my sick leave and holiday pay for my husbands cancer.
- A: If you are still looking for assistance it is my opinion that you would strongly benefit from speaking with an attorney who focuses on federal sector employment law to go over your case in detail. It is likely that as a postal service employee you do have additional protections related to expanded COVID-19 leave protections than many other federal employees (Title 5 employees). Specifically, unlike Title 5 employees, you may be covered by the Expanded Family and Medical Leave Provisions Enacted in Division C of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). Best of luck!
- Q. Can I file a suit for personal injury against the Federal government?
- A: It is also possible you could have a valid EEO claim and you may be able to seek damages for pain and suffering (compensatory damages). I would speak with an attorney who represents federal employees to discuss your options. Best of luck!
