COMMANDERS CONCERNS

• Taking care of the workforce
• Sustaining the mission
• Avoid perception that any group of employees is
  disadvantaged

17
EMPLOYEE TRANSITION PROCESSES

• Transfer of Function
• Transfer of Work
• TRADOC Volunteer Process

18
VOLUNTEER PROCESS

• Current, permanent employees realigning into the
  Center of Excellence will be allowed to volunteer
  for positions in the Centers of Excellence.
• All employees who volunteer to realign will be
  guaranteed a job at their same grade level or
  equivalent.
• Employees must first volunteer for their current
  position, title series and grade or equivalent
  level.
• Thereafter, may volunteer for unlimited
  number of positions at their same grade level or
  equivalent. All Direct Matches will be made
  first
• Employees will be provided a timeframe for
  movement of the positions.

19
VOLUNTEER PROCESS (contd)

• Employees who volunteer must complete formal
  Survey of Interest and provide up-to-date resume
  and copy of most recent Notification of Personnel
  Action (SF-50).
• All employees at the impacted Schools/Centers
  treated equally
• Employees must be fully qualified
• - IAW OPM qualifications standards
• - Meet special requirements/conditions of
  employment
• If more than one volunteer qualifies for a Direct
  Match, SCD for leave will determine placement
• If multiple volunteers qualify for a non Direct
  Match,
• a panel comprised of management officials
  from the realigning Schools/Centers will
  determine placement based on job related criteria

20
BOTTOM LINE

• Management participates in process (Determines
  job offers for non-Direct Matches based on job
  related criteria)
• Agreement from

• Fires (Bliss, Sill)
