The NSPS system will set the employee rights backward towards the begining of the industrial revolution. It appears that the managers don't understand how to use the current system of counseling employees and how to document these events. I have worked in the management area and found that the system works if you take the time to learn how to use it. To the uninformed, read the procedures!! Our system is plagued with favortism and this method of rating performance and deciding how pay is to be adjusted will only promote lower morale that currently exist in our agencies. I have watched this practice go on for over ten years where to merit promotion system really had no merit employeed along with special treatment for a few. This situation is getting worst. This system does not provide guidelines on how we are to proceed with the rating process. What is the criteria being use to decide how you rate and rank employees? Your system does not even begin to address how we support our customers and their program requirements. Pay banding is simular to a system that was used over 20 years ago when the system introduced GM grades and everyone in it was rated on their performance and granted bonuses. The problem with this and your new system is the same. You will run out of funds to support it. Moving emplyees to another job site miles from their assigned work place with little or no advanced notice is another example of poor management. Poor planning on your part should not be run down the employees throat to make up for your inadequate management. You have a choice to make this a better place to work or make it worst.
