The Office of Personnel Management recently released guidelines for agencies to follow as they stand up new onboarding plans for senior executives.
VA Secretary Bob McDonald and Deputy Secretary Sloan Gibson are working with Congress on a proposal that would strip senior agency executives of their rights to appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board when they face disciplinary action. But the proposal faces growing criticism from the Senior Executives Association and others.
Some federal employee groups and committee Democrats are taking issue with a series of bills under consideration at the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The legislation largely targets accountability issues among Senior Executives and career appointees.
Salaries barely changed from fiscal 2013. But 12.2 percent more SES members received performance awards.
The Senior Executives Association and Federal Managers Association have asked Congress to investigate what they call a "hit list" created by VA’s largest labor union. It's a report compiled by the American Federation of Government Employees, which names managers and executives the union recommends for discipline. SEA questions whether the list was compiled on official time. Jason Briefel is the legislative director at SEA. He joined the Federal Drive with Tom Temin with more on this list and why the associations are so upset by it.
