Ghost Cactus posted:Anyone with creditable military or civilian service toward annual leave ever had their service computation date reviewed? Unless you had a break in service or some other very weird thing during your first year at the appointing agency, which it sounds like you didn't, this OPM guidance seems pretty clear that "Once an employee completes 1 full year of continuous service with the appointing agency, the period of service for which he or she was granted service credit for his or her non-Federal or active duty uniformed service work experience is permanently creditable for the purpose of determining his or her annual leave accrual rate for the duration of the employee's career."

Sure didn’t. I need to figure out how to convey that to HR. I’ve sent that same link and tried to explain, but here we are. This also doesn’t seem like a normal audit they run and I’m wondering why I drew the short straw. I’m concerned about the bureaucratic nightmare of fixing it if/when HR breaks it.

While true, OPM guidance also states this: quote:e. Discovery of an error. The current employing agency must recompute an employee’s Service Computation Date-Leave when an error is discovered. It does not matter when the error was made, who made it, or what information the employee previously received about the credit to which he or she might be entitled. https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/data-analysis-documentation/personnel-documentation/processing-personnel-actions/gppa06.pdf Unless I'm missing something, which is quite possible.

Aside from the obvious of being having a finite lifespan, what are the downsides of a temporary appointment vs a permanent one? "This is a temporary position with a not to exceed date of 12 months and may be extended for up to 1 additional year (24 months of total service)."

From working as an NPS seasonal, other than the obvious lack of long-term job security not being a permanent meant that I didn't get to benefit from TSP contributions.

Anyone else ever have an issue where Concur only shows you "non-contract government" flights? I'm about to start traveling for my job and was able to see the government fares just fine as recently as last Wednesday. But ever since Thursday, I always get exactly 100 results no matter what I put in for the times/dates/locations, and all of the flights are listed as "non-contract government", twice or more the price of what I was seeing Wednesday, and flagged as policy violations. (For context, I was getting 190+ results and two other categories when I searched on Wednesday; I don't recall the exact titles, but they were basically "government" and "government with discount".) I think it's probably an issue with my account and not Concur generally because I checked with a colleague who already had Concur access and she's still able to see government flights just fine. That said, someone else on the team who got their Concur access at about the same time I did is also experiencing the same issue. I know I can call TDI to schedule the flights, but I'd really like to just fix what's going on with my Concur account so I don't have to do that every time. And now would be the time to do it, because this is the first lull I've had since the start of the year and I'll probably be too busy again soon. But I exhausted all of the standard paths to resolve the issue today and am not sure what to try next.

Just book it at the higher rate? And justify it as "cheapest available". Is what I would do in DTS anyhow, hah.

Does anyone have guidance about negotiating to maintain your step (step 03) when accepting a new position at a higher grade (g14), even when the offer at Step 1 is a higher salary than you currently receive (Step 3 as a g13) ? This is for an existing federal employee moving within the same agency office. I've read conflicting things online.

This is for an existing federal employee moving within the same agency office. I've read conflicting things online. Per the opm two step rule, you're going to need to be at step 4 to promote into step 2 automatically. What you're asking for is a quality step increase in conjunction with a promotion. It's possible but you need a pretty compelling reason to ask for one. Even then it would be borderline unheard of to go higher than one step up that way.

The only time I’ve seen someone get an additional step increase on top of a promotion to a higher gs level was for someone who was step 7 or 8 or something at the lower gs level and her salary increase would’ve been like $0.10/hour or something minuscule like that. So they just bumped her up an additional step from what was technically required so it was an actual pay increase. The increase from 13 step 3 to 14 step 1 is definitely more than that, so I’d think you would need some very persuasive reasoning.

I have no idea what we're doing for Public Service week. Nothing from my manager, so I have no idea if we get the same thirty minutes of excused time that we did last year (where we also had to change our phone setting to idle 1, so it wasn't even a real extended lunch).

SSA has been way way more stingy with this poo poo than even Rick Scott and Ron desantis were in Florida though, which is really fuckin dire. Those guys were/are Titanic assholes of the highest order but even they always gave us an extra day off for free around Christmas+new year+thanksgiving
