Comments:

Under the GS and FWS, employee pay was clear. It was funded by Congress and could not be taken away. However under NSPS this certainty will be taken away. Under the new pay system the amount of a worker's salary and pay will depend on the judgment of my supervisor who is military and really doesn't care about their civilian work force. There is no guarantee that even the best workers wil receive a pay raise. It is also removing the team work force and making everyone work on their on empires. There will be no continuity since everyone will be keeping to them selfs. As for the deployment of an civilian, the system in place now is you position is code for mobility and you are hired on the basis you want to deploy and are physically fit to deploy. This is why we have a volunteer force instead of draft in the arm forces. To ensure only the trained and qualify are sent.
NSPS will weaken unions and the rights gained through union contracts, such as flex days, advance notice of work schedules and overtime rotations. Under NSJPS managers can schedule employees to work without sufficient advance notice of schedule changes. This will make it extremely difficult for working parents to care for their children and family. Over all this regulation needs lots of work and consideration for the individuals being effected by it. The individuals making the decisions are not in the base setting work force.
