# 2019-247 Careers, Repatriation

Case summary

F&R Date: 2020-05-05

The Committee had to determine whether the grievor was treated fairly and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations, specifically in regards to her recorded warning (RW), her Category D repatriation from Operation SOPRANO, her Theatre Personnel Evaluation Report (PER) and the harassment complaint she submitted.

The Committee recommended that the Final Authority (FA) not afford the grievor redress in regard to the RW, finding that it was justified.

The Committee also recommended that the FA afford the grievor redress by changing her repatriation from a Category D to a Category A and by removing all reference to her repatriation from her Theatre PER and other personnel records. In addition, the Committee recommended that an investigation be conducted into the allegations of harassment submitted by the grievor.

FA decision summary

The Director Canadian Forces Grievance Authority, as FA, agreed with the Committee's recommendation to uphold the grievance. The FA did not find that the nature of the ethical breach committed by the grievor justified an early repatriation under category D ("continued presence is or could potentially be detrimental to the operational effectiveness of the deployed force"). The FA directed that the category for the grievor's repatriation be changed to a category A ("to fulfill career action or due to military administrative activity").
