- 046. Civilian incentives
- WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- The Air Force plans to start offering eligible
- civilian employees cash incentives equal to entitled severance pay or $25,000,
- whichever is less, to minimize the impact of force reductions.
- The separation incentives were authorized in the 1993 National Defense
- Authorization Act. A plan for utilizing the incentives has been sent to all
- major commands and civilian personnel offices worldwide, P.L. Schittulli,
- director of civilian personnel, said.
- Incentives can be offered to employees eligible for regular retirement,
- those who choose to retire early or those who volunteer to leave the Air
- Force.
- The goal is to minimize the need for involuntary separations due to
- reductions in force, base closures, reorganizations and other actions,
- Schittulli said.
- The Air Force has been reducing its civilian work force since 1989,
- primarily through attrition, hiring restrictions and voluntary separations.
- So far, the level has been reduced by more than 42,000 -- about 16 percent of
- the civilian population.
- But the Air Force must reduce that force by an additional 25,000, "with
- most of that reduction occurring in the next two years," he said.
- For example, changes in Air Force Materiel Command mission requirements
- will result in significant personnel cuts. Also, based on currently announced
- base closures, the Air Force will close 13 bases in fiscal 1993 and 1994,
- affecting more than 9,000 employees.
- "Our separation incentive plan will allow the Air Force to balance the
- work force and, at the same time, afford those employees who are willing to
- leave voluntarily an incentive to do so," Schittulli said.
- Commanders can submit requests for incentives to major commands, based on
- a reduction in force or transfer of function that results in surplus
- employees.
- Requests will be reviewed before being sent to Air Force headquarters,
- and must be approved at that level and by the assistance secretary of defense
- before incentives will be offered.
- More information is available from local civilian personnel offices.
