Pay Bands-This may be great for the Pentagon or locations where supervision and workers are located within a close proximity. The Defense Contract Management Agency is scattered around the USA and the world, wherever its acquisition services and personnel are needed. How can a supervisor appraise an employee if the employee is on a mission for 6 months or the supervisor doesn't visit the sight? Management did not travel under the previous system, which required them to evaluate an employee at least twice a year; will more time and money be spent now? We would not need to change to NSPS if management used the methods and tools it had available to evaluate their people under the previous system. Counselling, and a documented improvement plan was a step seldom taken by supervision during performance reviews. The biggest problem with the new system will be the same, supervisors were never trained to evaluate work performance. Management needs to perform evaluations on their own supervision before instituting the NSPS.
