Subject: [RESADM-L] Uncooperative PI

> Help!!
>
> SITUATION:  PI is leaving the institution in a few weeks for a job with
> a federal agency and has a delinquent final report due to a (different)
> federal funding agency.  PI has been extremely uncooperative and
> volatile in the past re: completiong of work and delinquent reports.  He
> has indicated that he does not intend to submit the report before
> leaving the institution.  Based on past experience, we're almost certain
> that, unless we somehow force the issue now, the report will never be
> submitted.  Our financial exposure is relatively small--around $7,000.
>
> QUESTIONS for those who have actually had this experience (or comments
> from those of you with legal training re: various courses of action we
> might take and the resulting exposure of the institution):
>
> 1.  How did you actually handle the situation?
>
> 2.  If you held the final paycheck, did anyone raise any issues about
> state and federal
> employment/wage laws?
>
> 3.  Given that the PI is going to Federal employment at another agency,
> do we have any legal leverage there?
>
> Thanks.
