Practice question
A covered appointive national-agency employee argues that the agency's proper disciplining authority cannot hear any administrative complaint because only the CSC may act originally. No special contrary law applies. Is the argument correct under Section 9 of the 2025 RACCS?
- Yes, every agency is merely a private complainant.
- Yes, original agency discipline was abolished for all personnel.
- Yes, unless the employee personally approves jurisdiction.
- No; Section 9 recognizes the authority's original concurrent jurisdiction over its respective officials and employees.
- No; because every agency can discipline every official in every branch.
