RIN3206-AK76/0790-AH82 Subpart B-Classification-You are going to end up with a generalized workforce and no one will be a specialist in anything. Subpart C-Pay & Pay Administration-This is going to have a huge affect on my retirement. If I am not going to receive any more raises, why should I care or keep working you DoD? Subpart D-Performance Management-Management has always been able to reward high performers with monetary reward, time off awards, QSI, etc. We don’t need NSPS for this! Subpart E-Staffing & Employment-This will go back to the days of hiring all relatives. Subpart F-Workforce Shaping-I agree the hiring process is slow and cumbersome, but we do not need NSPS to figure out a solution to that problem. Subpart G-Adverse Actions-The system should be that all employees are entitled to due process and fairness which this proposal will destroy. Subpart H-Appeals-DoD will be the prosecutor, judge, and jury without allowing a third party review. Subpart I-Labor/Management Relations-A national level bargaining agreement might be good for some things, but there will always be local issues that need to be dealt with at each agency, one size does not fit all. Sincerely, John Voltz
