SUPPLEMENTAL DECISION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
On February 25, 2002, the Board issued its decision on the Employing Office’s appeal from the Hearing Officer’s Decision on liability and his Supplemental Decision on damages. The Board affirmed the Hearing Officer’s decisions in all respects, except for the reassignment remedy, which the Board remanded to the Hearing Officer for further proceedings. In his Decision on Remand, dated July 25, 2002, the Hearing Officer ordered that the Employing Office promptly and permanently reassign the Complainant/Appellee to the position of Subway Operator. The Hearing Officer also directed the payment of specified damages and attorney’s fees, and, pursuant to the Board’s referral, the Hearing Officer awarded additional attorney’s fees for work performed at the appellate stage of this case.
The Employing Office timely appealed this order to the Board.
The Board has considered the attached hearing officer’s Decision on Remand, the record, the employing office’s objections and the parties’ briefs, and has decided to affirm the hearing officer’s findings and conclusions and to adopt his order.
ORDER
The Board of Directors of the Office of Compliance adopts the Order of the hearing officer and orders that the Employing Office, the Office of the Architect of the Capitol, shall take the action set forth in the Order.
