The National Security Personnel System (NSPS) Transition Office has developed two web-based training courses to support employees during the transition to non-NSPS personnel systems. While the courses address the various responsibilities of managers and supervisors, NSPS officials say the content may prove useful for all employees preparing for the transition. The courses are: - "Classifying Positions under GS: A Primer for Supervisors," which describes how positions are classified in the General Schedule (GS). The course covers supervisory roles and responsibilities associated with conversion from NSPS to GS, providing information via four unique lessons: Classification in Context; Introduction to GS Classification; Writing a Position Description; and Addressing Special Situations.
- "Performance Management: A Tool to Achieve Results" provides techniques for conducting performance conversations; methods for setting clear performance goals; practical tips for creating a culture of giving and receiving feedback; steps for rating performance; and ideas for rewarding individual and team performance.
Under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2010, all employees are required to transition from NSPS by January 1, 2012 with no loss of, or decrease in, pay upon conversion. Most employees will transition into the General Schedule (GS) personnel system.
Last month, the Defense Department revealed that the majority of NSPS employees are scheduled to transition to non-NSPS personnel systems by September 30, 2010, more than a year earlier than required by statute.
