Under NSPS, is it possible for a 25-year employee to lose their job in a RIF while a newly hired employee keeps their job?
Anything is possible. It is possible today under the current system for a 25 year employee to lose their job while newly hired employees keep theirs. Under NSPS, Veterans’ preference eligibles are still retained over employees without veterans’ preference in RIF. Also, seniority continues to be a factor in RIF. However, because NSPS is a performance-based system, the proposed regulations give greater weight to performance in RIF retention by placing performance ahead of length of service. Employees competing for retention under RIF who have the same performance ratings will be retained based on length of service.
