Procedural Rules

Section 303 of the CAA (2 U.S.C. 1383) directs the Executive Director of the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights (OCWR), as Chief Operating Officer, to adopt rules of procedure, subject to approval by the Board of Directors of the Office. The OCWR Rules of Procedure establish the process by which alleged violations of the 13 laws made applicable to the legislative branch under the CAA are considered and resolved.
