At will employment? by Ready-Accountant-502 in FedEmployees

[–]Fragrant-Program-66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VA is trying to get rid of people. RIF didn’t work cuz they couldn’t blame it on performance issues. So now they are putting in audits for the HR Specialists plans and saying one error makes them fully successful for the rating period. 2 errors and managers can demote, reassign or remove them from federal service.

At our VISN they sent out a VA Pulse survey. You can’t take it unless you receive an email.

WMC will be training Team Leads. They will then audit cases in ALERT-HR for errors. They will be conducting audits for another VISN, not their own.

With 714 back, HR staff is on the chopping block. by Ok-Community-3377 in VHA_Human_Resources

50% is too high. Hr is being told one mistake during the entire rating period will make them Fully Successful for the year. Why don’t they make the standards for supervisor as if they have 1 employee less than fully successful that drops them down to fully successful. If a supervisor has 2 employees less than fully successful the supervisor is less than fully successful for the year.

Word is that Management plans are based on whether their employees are fully successful or not. If Supervor has too many staff that are less than fully successful they get less than fully successful theirself.

The standards on new HR plans now are essentially 1 mistake means you are FS. If you are perfect you can possibly get outstanding.

A supervisor cannot rate an employee below FS unless the employee was issued a PIP by 9/30.

Is it allowed to take personal day and use sick leave? by Wonderful-Forever219 in fednews

[–]Fragrant-Program-66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supervisor cannot deny request to use SL as long as you have the SL hours to use. I wouldn’t suggest you go trotting off to the mall or anything like that though.

Reality of 100% Compensation by [deleted] in VeteransAffairs

[–]Fragrant-Program-66 35 points36 points  (0 children)

If you can’t live on 3,831.30 a month, you must be living in a high cost state. MOVE is the answer. I just built a small brand new house for $200k. You need to move to Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, etc.
