At my normal work location during regular working hours?
No. Expenses for traveling to and from work and for parking are personal expenses, even when the employee is assigned to training and not to regular duties. I am anticipating that I may be subject to a RIF action. Is it possible for the Department to pay for a training program that will help me meet the minimal education qualification requirement for another Federal occupation? Yes. In addition to other career transition assistance services, bureaus and offices can train employees to prepare them for anticipated future assignments. When employees are affected by reduction-in-force, restructuring or re-engineering, the training provided must be related to the knowledge and skills required by the employees’ current positions or to prepare them for anticipated duties in a different occupation in Interior, another Government agency, or the private sector.
