# §1017.6. Result if employee fails to meet deadlines.


An employee will not be granted a hearing and will have his/her disposable pay offset in accordance with the Board's offset schedule if the employee:

- (a) Fails to file a petition for a hearing in conformity with the requirements of [§ 1017.4(b)(8)](/cfr/49/1017.4.md?p=b-8) or [§ 1017.4(c)(9)](/cfr/49/1017.4.md?p=c-9) of this part, whichever is applicable. However, failure to file within the requisite time period set out in [§ 1017.4(b)(8)](/cfr/49/1017.4.md?p=b-8) or [§ 1017.4(c)(9)](/cfr/49/1017.4.md?p=c-9) of this part whichever is applicable, will not result in denial of a hearing or in immediate offset, if the Administrative Law Judge excuses the late filing if the employee can show that the delay was because of circumstances beyond his/her control or because of failure to receive notice of the filing deadline.
- (b) **Is scheduled to appear and fails to appear at the hearing without good cause.**
