Current Headlines06.27.10 NAAE and APHIS LABOR RELATIONS SHARE an AWARD: Society of Federal Labor and Employee Relations Professionals 2010 Cooperation Award04.17.10 NAAE 2010 Election Results 02.20.10 Hiring Option Update Big news! For several years, at every management consultation, NAAE has brought up the issue that PPQ technicians need a method of applying for PHSS positions that gives them an advantage over people applying off the street. We’d been told that there was no method available for technicians to apply for a merit promotion PHSS vacancy. And there wasn’t, because the Agency was only advertising them at the GS-11 level, and to be eligible employees had to be no more than one grade level below the level the vacancy was advertised at. Not anymore! PPQ has just notified us that it is going to amend the current system and allow merit promotion announcements to be advertised at the GS 5/7/9 and 11 levels. Keep in mind this option of filling vacancies still remains at the discretion of the selecting official. But we’re making progress! 10.07 NAAE has negotiated for waivers to the all electronic Earnings and Leave Statement 09.13.07 A Collective Bargaining Agreement for SITC Becomes Effective |
