Personnel Management Office May 13, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Office of Personnel Management is issuing interim regulations to implement a provision of the Federal Workforce Flexibility Act of 2004 to provide agencies with the authority to pay recruitment, relocation, and retention incentives to employees. The new authorities will provide agencies with additional flexibility to help recruit and retain employees and better meet agency strategic human capital needs. The new authorities replace the former recruitment and relocation bonus and retention allowance authorities that applied to General Schedule and other categories of Federal employees.
