• WS W.S., Docket No. 09-2239 (issued June 22, 2010).<br />

offered secretarial position, the record failed to<br />

establish <strong>employee</strong> had the necessary educational<br />

and vocational background to perform the position.]<br />

• P.P., Docket No. 09-2370 (issued June 21, 2010).<br />

[ECAB reversed suitability determination, finding<br />

adequately addressed possible effects of appellant’s<br />

pain medications in evaluating the job.]
