Sec. 268.502  Compliance with final Commission decisions.

    (a) Relief ordered in a final Commission decision, if accepted 
pursuant to Sec. 268.405(c) as a final decision, or not acted upon the 
Board within the time periods of Sec. 268.405(c), is mandatory and 
binding on the Board except as provided in this section. Failure to 
implement ordered relief shall be subject to judicial enforcement as 
specified in Sec. 268.503(f).
    (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this section, when the Board 
requests reconsideration and the case involves removal, separation, or a 
suspension continuing beyond the date of the request for 
reconsideration, and when the decision orders retroactive restoration, 
the Board shall comply with the decision to the extent of the temporary 
or conditional restoration of the employee to duty status in the 
position specified by the Commission, pending the outcome of the Board's 
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 or the completion of the service 
requirement for career tenure, if the Commission upholds its decision 
after reconsideration.
    (2) When the Board requests reconsideration, it may delay the 
payment of any amounts ordered to be paid to the complainant until after 
the request for reconsideration is resolved. If the Board delays payment 
of any amount pending the outcome of the request to reconsider and the 
resolution of the request requires the Board to make the payment, then 
the Board shall pay interest from the date of the original appellate 
decision until payment is made.
    (3) The Board 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 and, if applicable, that it will 
delay the payment of any amounts owed but will pay interest as specified 
in paragraph (b)(2) of

this section. Failure of the Board to provide notification will result 
in the dismissal of the Board's request.
    (c) When no request for reconsideration is filed or when a request 
for reconsideration is denied, the Board 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.
