NSPS Regs Published: We Need Your Help!

On May 22, 2008, DoD and OPM published the revised proposed National Security Personnel System (NSPS) regulations in the Federal Register. Performance payouts, control points (maximum pay caps for specific position within a pay band), promotion/reassignment, retirement benefits, bargaining – these are but a few of the important areas in which NSPS will have an adverse effect on DoD civilians. The DoD is accepting comments on the new regulations and we urge you to voice your concerns on how these new regulations will have a catastrophic impact on DoD employees.

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!
