Rivers, 9 OCB2d 27 (BCB 2016)
Petitioner argued that NYCHA retaliated against him in violation of NYCCBL § 12-306(a)(1) and (3) by withholding part of a Workers Compensation award and taking improper deductions from his paycheck related to that award. NYCHA argued that Petitioner's claims are untimely and that its actions were authorized by the Workers' Compensation award and the collective bargaining agreement. The Board found that Petitioner's claim was timely but did not establish a prima facie case of retaliation. Accordingly, the Board dismissed the improper practice petition.
