Dear PAO,

My mom works in the government. Unfortunately, a few years back, she was subjected to unfounded charges of dishonesty. During the administrative case, she was initially found liable by the CSC Regional Office and was penalized with dismissal. During the pendency of her appeal, her office immediately removed her from her position, allegedly to implement the decision. My mom was eventually exonerated from the charges. In connection with this, can she claim backwages for the time when the earlier decision dismissing her was prematurely implemented?
