What happens to DOI employees if the function is awarded to the in-house DOI organization (the Most Efficient Organization)?
If the Most Efficient Organization is awarded the contract, DOI will work hard to help affected employees. Given the expected changing nature of the workforce in the coming years, it is the Department’s goal to either avoid or minimize the need for Reductions in Force (RIFs). If, as a last resort, RIF is necessary, affected employees have many rights and benefits of which DOI will make maximum use. Affected employees will be provided numerous career transition services and get placement consideration for positions elsewhere inside the bureau, in other DOI bureaus, and other Federal agencies. Where possible, we will also train affected employees for other DOI occupational areas. Employees should understand that there is no guarantee that these options will be available in all instances, or in a timely manner. If separated from the Federal service, employees will continue to receive placement assistance for one to two years and also be eligible for severance pay and unemployment compensa
