As NSPS Ends, Transition Resources Available for DoD Employees
February 18, 2010
Due to the elimination of the National Security Personnel System (NSPS)
last fall, approximately 200,000 federal employees will be transitioning into
the General Schedule pay system by Jan. 1, 2012.
The Department of Defense (DoD) has issued a web-based training program for
those affected. "GS 101", as it's called, covers a variety of concerns,
including:
GS classification and and salary issues
information about changing positions within the GS system
details on performance management
information on career development
While NSPS will be eliminated in 2012, until it ends, those still in the
program may benefit from guidance offered by federal career expert,
Kathryn Troutman. "Whether or not this is your first or last NSPS
self-assessment, we have a few guides available that will make your NSPS
self-assessment and job objective writing task easy to understand, and
formatting ideas to make your best work stand out," stated Troutman.
