 §1614.502   Compliance with final Commission decisions. 
                
  
     (a) Relief ordered in a final decision on appeal to the Commission
 is mandatory and binding on the agency except as provided in          
  1614.405(b). Failure to implement ordered relief shall be subject to 
 judicial enforcement as specified in  1614.503(g).                    
     (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this section, when the agency
 requests reconsideration, when the case involves removal, separation, 
 or suspension continuing beyond the date of the request for           
 reconsideration, and when the decision recommends retroactive         
 restoration, the agency shall comply with the decision only to the    
 extent of the temporary or conditional restoration of the employee to 
 duty status in the position recommended by the Commission, pending the
 outcome of the agency request for reconsideration.                    
     (1) Service under the temporary or conditional restoration        
 provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be credited toward the         
 completion of a probationary or trial period, eligibility for a       
 within-grade increase, or the completion of the service requirement   
 for career tenure, if the Commission upholds its decision after       
 reconsideration.                                                      
     (2) The agency shall notify the Commission and the employee in    
 writing, at the same time it requests reconsideration, that the relief
 it provides is temporary or conditional.                              
     (c) When no request for reconsideration is filed or when a request
 for reconsideration is denied, the agency shall provide the relief    
 ordered and there is no further right to delay implementation of the  
 ordered relief.  The relief shall be provided in full not later than  
 60 days after receipt of the final decision unless otherwise ordered  
 in the decision.
