| Summary |
In the early 2000s, USA's largest employer, the Department of Defense (DoD) (popularly known as the Pentagon) realized that its decades-old General Schedule (GS) payment system was not in sync with the rapidly changing scenario. The needs of the defense forces and the way they worked had changed and the civilian personnel supporting them needed to change too. Moreover, Pentagon wanted to be a more competitive employer and felt that the GS system was unable to attract and retain the best talent. Pentagon introduced a new civilian personnel management system, the National Security Personnel System (NSPS), to reward employees based on their performance. But it required huge effort on the part of policy markers to actually design the systems, seek participation and approval from multiple stakeholders, and implement the program. The implementation of the NSPS also met with resistance from several quarters including from federal labor unions. The labor unions contended that the NSPS did not focus on elements such as adverse actions, collective bargaining, labor relations, etc. resulting in the erosion of job security of the workers |
