Download or read book Federal Workforce written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed six federal agencies' use of their authority to hire temporary employees without the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) approval, to determine whether: (1) selected agencies complied with merit selection requirements; and (2) those agencies made temporary appointments for appropriate reasons. GAO found that: (1) 11 agency installations reported that they complied with merit principles when making temporary appointments, but did not maintain sufficient documentation to assess their compliance; (2) the lack of documentation made it difficult to assess whether agencies ensured fair and equal consideration of all qualified and interested job candidates; (3) OPM documentation requirements were not clearly stated and agencies lacked written procedures for describing the reasons for making temporary appointments; (4) of the 130 temporary appointments reviewed, 97 appeared to be appropriate for hiring temporary employees; (5) agencies made 25 percent of the reviewed appointments to fill permanent needs, which appeared to be inappropriate and could have violated the merit principle of fair and open competition; and (6) some agencies were not making the internal reviews required by OPM for temporary appointment authority.
