Who establishes qualification requirements for positions?
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has established qualification requirements for General Schedule and Federal Wage positions in the competitive service. (OPM) Operating Manual for Qualification Standards for General Schedule positions, and the Handbook X-118C Job Qualification System for Trades and Labor Occupations, contain qualification standards for occupations in the Federal government. OPM authorizes agencies to establish qualification requirements for positions when no appropriate OPM standard exists. Agencies may also establish qualification requirements for positions in the excepted service, or may use standards established by OPM.
