This book was released on 2007 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DOD has made progress capturing employment information on its reservists since August 2005, but several challenges remain. In August 2004, DOD changed employer reporting by reservists from voluntary to mandatory. The number of reservists reporting employer information to DOD increased from 60 percent in August 2005 to about 77 percent in August 2006. However, we found that reservists have not fully reported civilian employment information, reported employment data are not necessarily current, and DOD s employer verification process is not adequate. Complete and current civilian employer information is important to DOD for several reasons, including its ability to provide sufficient outreach to employers. In August 2004, DOD established a 95 percent goal for reporting employment information for the Selected Reserve and a 75 percent reporting goal for the Individual Ready Reserve and Inactive National Guard. As of August 2006, about 91 percent of Selected Reserve members had reported this information, whereas only 30 percent of Individual Ready Reserve or Inactive National Guard Members with good addresses had complied. Currently, the Army Reserve has met the Selected Reserve reporting goal and the Army National Guard has met the Inactive National Guard reporting goal and nearly met the Selected Reserve goal, while the other reserve components have met neither goal. Moreover, DOD does not have specific time frames for when reserve components are to achieve their reporting goals, and has not directed the service components to take actions to assure compliance. In addition, the DOD instructions requires reservists to update their employment information when changes occur; however, during focus groups we found that reservists generally were not aware of the need to update employer information when employers changed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the ongoing conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, thousands of current and former military servicemembers are undergoing a transition between their military service and their civilian employment. Congress enacted the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) to protect the employment and reemployment rights of federal and nonfederal employees when they leave their employment to perform military or other uniformed service. Among other rights, servicemembers who meet the statutory requirements are entitled to reinstatement to the positions they would have held if they had never left their employment or to positions of like seniority, status, and pay. This report focuses on servicemembers who are employees of, prior employees of, and applicants to, federal executive agencies. The objective was to determine the extent to which the methods and procedures the Dept. of Labor (DOL) and the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) selected for the demonstration project allow for a later assessment and comparison of the agencies' relative performance investigating and resolving USERRA claims.

Book excerpt: From 2001-2007, DoD deployed more than 434,000 reservists in Afghanistan and Iraq. While on active duty, reservists may be unable to take the required professional dev¿t. courses or periodic tests needed to retain their professional currency in fields such as accounting or software engin. This report examines the no. and type of professional or other licensure or certification require. that may be adversely affected by extended periods of active duty, and identifies options that would provide relief. The objectives were to examine: (1) DoD¿s efforts to identify the extent to which active duty service has had an impact on the ability of reservists to maintain professional licenses or certifications in their civilian careers; and (2) relief options for addressing these issues.

Book excerpt: The DoD has begun implementing the National Security Personnel System (NSPS), its new human capital system for managing civilian personnel performance. As of May 2008, about 182,000 civilian employees were under NSPS. DoD¿s implementation of NSPS will have far-reaching implications for DoD and civil service reform across the fed. gov¿t. The author developed an initial list of safeguards that NSPS should include to ensure it is fair, effective, and credible. This report determines: (1) the extent to which DoD has implemented internal safeguards to ensure the fairness, effectiveness, and credibility of NSPS; and (2) how DoD civilian personnel perceive NSPS and what actions DoD has taken to address these perceptions.
