IF NSPS is to be accepted by the house, there MUST be EXTENSIVE training for supervisors and managers! The "pay for performance" is a good concept, however within the DOD there are change of assigmnents for military leaders who are supervisors and managers for civilian employees. GUIDELINES MUST be set, and PUBLICLY published, so that there is LITTLE flexibility for individual managers, supervisors, and PCSing military personnel! There should be NO room for PERSONAL feelings to dictate an employees performance! A new incoming manager/supervisor, as well as current manager/supervisors MUST be QUALIFIED to hold their positions AND be able to determine an employee's performance based on exiting managers ratings until they have had an opportunity to view an employees performance for a MINIMUM of 1 year. Again, it is a good concept used by the private sector in many companies. There are individuals in EVERY organization being paid for not working. Some hold positions because they have more education, but no work ethic. BE careful designing the "levels." Allow for highger pay AND movement through the levels based on PERFORMANCE AND ABILITY to supervise/lead! I URGE the house/senate representatives to CONTACT DOD employees within their state BEFORE making a final decision. THIS is what WE the people elect them for!
