What is the role of employee representatives in the “implementing issuances” process?
• The NSPS law requires that DoD and OPM involve employee representatives in the further planning, development, and/or adjustment of NSPS. “Continuing collaboration” is the process by which employee representatives will be provided an opportunity to participate in further planning and development of the system, including DoD implementing issuances. DoD will seek union input and will consider that input before finalizing NSPS implementing issuances.
