Heading: Aftermath of Murry’s July 2000 Complaint

Text: On August 1, 2000, the GSA presented a memorandum to Murry stating that there were no available GS-5 positions in the Forth Worth area other than her position at the NFPC. The agency denied Murry’s request to work from home because her job required her to operate a computer system that was not accessible remotely, and to perform physical inventory checks at the warehouse. However, to accommodate a new sleeping medication that Murry was taking, which left her groggy in the mornings, the GSA agreed to allow her one hour of unpaid leave every morning. Later, in 2001, the agency agreed to allow Murry two hours of unpaid leave every morning. In May 2001, the GSA promoted two individuals from GS-4 personnel clerk positions to GS-5 human resources assistant positions to account for those individuals’ increased responsibilities.
