I also ordered Complainant reinstated to his former position with back pay and damages.
Complainant now requests findings on specific damages and losses.
Here, Complainant alleges that he would have earned consulting fees in addition to earning his full salary had he not been discharged. Resolution of this issue appears to require factual findings appropriately made by the ALJ who is authorized to hear testimony and otherwise compile a record. Assuming Complainant would have earned consulting fees in the absence of Respondent's retaliation, question arises as to whether he would have used annual leave in this regard and whether any adjustment is appropriate in restoring that benefit. The ALJ additionally is directed to address the remaining outstanding damages and attorney fee issues.
