CIVILIAN PERSONNEL TRAINING SEMINARS
AIR FORCE NEW EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION (NEO) TRAINING
Effective 9 Aug 09, all new permanent, term, or employees hired under the Student Enhancement Career
program are required to complete the Air Force New Employee Orientation (NEO) Training within 90 days of
appointment. The purpose of this training is to ensure AF Civilians receive a solid foundation in Air Force
topics regardless of grade, pay band, function or location.
The course consists of eight online modules: Air Force Heritage (12 min), Air Force Core Competencies (1 hr),
Air Force Customs and Courtesies (1 hr), Force Development (1 hr), Health, Safety and Security (1 hr),
Personnel Administration ( 1 hr), and AF Core Values (1 hr). Upon completion of all eight modules, the civilian
will be awarded a pin from the Civilian Training Section. This pin represents the AF Civilians values toward the
organization and the mission.
New employees who are retired military are only required to complete the Personnel Administration and Force
Development modules. However, in order for them to receive a pin, they will need to complete all 8 modules.
Retirees will need to select the “AF Retired Military Only” section to complete the two required modules.

PAY SETTING TIPS FOR NSPS POSITIONS
The National Security Personnel System (NSPS) compensation system is flexible and delegates many
compensation decisions to managers. With this flexibility comes the responsibility to make sound business
decisions. Some of the considerations that should be made in setting pay are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Acquisition of competencies/skills
Degree of Difficulty to Fill Vacancy
Degree of Directly Related Work Experience or Education Versus that of Peers
Competencies Versus Job Requirements
Breadth of Competencies Versus that of Peers
Current Pay Level Within the Salary Range
Other Salary Offers Compared to Pay Band
Consider current total compensation vs. government salary and benefits
Consider internal equity
Consider fiscal realities
Tip sheets that break these elements further down can be found on the NSPS Connect website under the
managers’ resources section:
http://www.cpms.osd.mil/nsps/nspsconnect/manager.html
When submitting a request for personnel action (RPA) to the Civilian Personnel Section, the RPA checklist
must contain salary information. For ranges, please do not submit the entire pay band as the desired range; try
to narrow down your criteria. We also remind managers to follow their organizational procedures for getting
salaries approved; whether it is by pay pool manager, finance department, management board, etc.
WINTER WEATHER SEASON IS APPROACHING
Supervisors should educate themselves with the base inclement weather policy. Attached is the Wing
Commander's policy as well as a helpful chart for charging leave.

NEW WEBSITE LAUNCHES TO KEEP EMPLOYEES HEALTHY
The Office of Personnel Management just launched a new segment of their website called, "Managing My Own
Health". There are four different sections; "Tools", which provides a fillable PDF personal health record and the
"Keep It With You" (KIWY) form. This form is meant to provide important medical information in the event of a
national disaster or other emergency situation. The next section, "Quality Ratings", gives state statistics on
health plans, doctors, hospitals, and types of care available. The "Information" tab is designed for men and
women of all ages, with special sections for those over age 50. Clicking on the appropriate link for either male
or female then takes you to a page that gives daily health tips, recommended screening tests and the ages
they should be done, and a screening tests checklist to help keep track of testing dates and results. "Related
Links" is a gateway to other agency websites dedicated to keeping the federal workforce healthy.
FEDERAL EMPLOYEES HEALTH BENEFITS OPEN SEASON
If you missed the Health Fair on November 9, you can still get information about the different plans by
visiting opm.gov. There are a few brochures still available at the Civilian Personnel Office but more
complete information is on the website. Remember that all insurance plan changes must be made
during the November 9 thru December 14, 2009 FEHB, FSAFEDS and FEDVIP Open Season.
SOME COLORADO HEALTH CARRIERS WITHDRAWING FROM FEHB PROGRAM
If you are currently enrolled in a PacifiCare of Colorado plan with a plan code of D61 or D62, you must choose
another health plan during the upcoming health benefits open season or you will not have health coverage for
2010. The plan has decided to withdraw its Colorado coverage. Also terminating will be Humana Coverage
First, plan codes FC1, FC2, 7T1 and 7T2 for the Colorado Springs and Denver areas. You can go online at
www.opm.gov to view plans and compare benefits.
UPCOMING ONLINE TRAINING TO BE OFFERED BY THE OFFICE OF PERSONNEL
MANAGEMENT
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) announced plans to launch on-line training for hiring officials, in
an effort to educate them on use of the Schedule A hiring authority. OPM has several other initiatives
regarding employment of people with disabilities that will occur in the coming months. Please read information
on this upcoming training at: http://www.opm.gov/news/opm-announces-plans-to-provide-online-training-tohiring-officials-who-will-help-level-the-playing-field-for-those-with-disabilities,1484.aspx. Additional information
will be provided as it becomes available.
IMPLEMENTATION HIRING AUTHORITY FOR NONCOMPETITIVE APPOINTMENT OF
CERTAIN MILITARY SPOUSES
Executive Order 13473, dated September 25, 2008 authorizes noncompetitive appointment in the civil service
for spouses of certain members of the armed forces. The authority became effective September 11, 2009. It
can be used to noncompetitively appoint eligible spouses to temporary, term, or permanent competitive service
positions with the provisions of 5 CFR 315.612 and 5 CFR 316.
The intent is to provide employment access for certain individuals negatively impacted by their military
spouses’ relocation, incapacitation, or death.
There is no grade-level limitation on positions filled; however, selecting officials must request this hiring
authority when recruitment is initiated. Spouses must apply to a job announcement on USAJOBS and must be
qualified for the position.
Spouses are eligible for a noncompetitive appointment under this authority for a maximum of 2 years from the
date of 1) service member’s permanent change of station orders 2) documentation verifying the member of the
armed forces is 100% disabled or 3) documentation verifying the member of the armed forces was killed while
on active duty. Documentation will be required at time of appointment.
For additional guidance on this subject contact Peterson AFB Civilian Personnel Office at (719) 556-4775.
ELECTRIC DATA INTERCHANGE (EDI) WORK INJURY CLAIMS GO ELECTRONIC…
It has been DoD’s policy since July 2003 that supervisors utilize EDI when filing claims for federal employees
who sustain either a work-related injury or occupational disease. EDI is a web-based system that supervisors
use for filing federal workers’ compensation claims electronically. The benefits of using EDI to both the agency
and the employee are:
Increased Timeliness of Filing
Faster Turnaround on Claim Numbers
Decreased Errors on Paperwork
Meets DoD SHARE Goals
Automatic Reporting to Safety Offices
EDI allows supervisors to access the Notice of Traumatic Injury/Occupational Illness claim forms in an
electronic form and once completed, submit those forms with just the click of a button. The Civilian Personnel
Section previously input these claims electronically but in accordance with regulations supervisors will now
be responsible for submitting all claims for traumatic injuries and occupational disease claims through
EDI. To receive a copy of the training materials please contact your organization's servicing specialist at the
Civilian Personnel Office. There is also online training at http://www.cpms.osd.mil/icuc/icuctraining.aspx
The supervisor’s link for accessing EDI and inputting workers’ compensation claims can be found at:
https://diucs.cpms.osd.mil/forms/frmservlet?config=SAFER_ALONE_R
CLAIMANT QUERY SYSTEM FOR INJURED WORKERS
On June 9, 2009 the Department of Labor (DOL) held their Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs (OWCP) Interagency meeting. One of the topics discussed
was the deployment of the Claimant Query System (CQS). CQS allows an injured
employee the ability to access information regarding their own claim such as: benefits
payments, benefits tracking, medical bill status, case status history, accepted conditions,
employing agency information, and CA-16 information.
The information in CQS is not as extensive as the Automated Query System (AQS)
which is used by the installation's Injury Compensation Program Administrator but
provides individual claimants the ability to view when the DOL/OWCP has issued a
check in the case, provides the amount of the payment, annotates whether or not OWCP has received and
logged in a CA-7, etc. In AQS, the payment history screen provides the ICPA with more detailed payment
information such as the basis for the amount of the check issued - pay rate, compensation rate, health benefits
deductions, etc.
MILITARY SERVICE CREDITABLE FOR RETIREMENT
A period of military service may be creditable for civilian retirement purposes if all the following conditions are
met:
• The military service is performed before the date of separation from civilian employment upon which
title to a retirement annuity is based;
•
It was honorable, active duty;
•
It was not included in the computation of military retired pay or, if it was included in military retired pay,
the retired pay was awarded based on disability incurred in combat with an enemy of the U.S. or
caused by an instrumentality of war and incurred in the line of duty during a period of war or granted
under the provisions of Chapter 1223, Title 10 U.S.C, Sections 12731-12739 (Reserve retirement); and
•
A deposit is made for military service (when applicable).
A deposit is not required if the military service was performed prior to 1 Jan 57. For service performed after 31
Dec 56, deposit rules differ, depending on whether you are covered under the Civil Service Retirement System
(CSRS or CSRS Offset) or the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS).
If you are retired military, you may combine your military service with your Federal civilian service for one
retirement if you pay the military deposit. However, you will be required to waive your military retired pay when
you retire from civilian service. If you have military service (such as academy service) that was not used in
computation of your military retired pay, it may be creditable for civilian retirement purposes. Deposit rules
apply. If your military retirement orders do not show which periods of military service were used to compute
your military retired pay, you will need to contact your branch of service to verify this.
For more details on the definition of military service, information on when a deposit is required, and instructions
on how to pay deposits, see BEST’s brochure, “Military Deposit.” There are separate brochures for CSRS and
FERS; they are available at:
https://gum.afpc.randolph.af.mil/cgi-bin/askafpc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=5088
You may contact a BEST counselor if you have questions or need assistance with your military deposit.

Center, at (800) 525-0102.
RETIREMENT PROCEDURES FOR EMPLOYEES AND SUPERVISORS
EMPLOYEE:
Set Your Retirement Date. If doing a voluntary retirement, this is the date of your choosing however it is
important to keep in mind which retirement system you fall under in order to make sure you get paid correctly
and in a timely manner.
• FERS – set your date at the end of a pay period or the end of the month.
• CSRS – set your date prior to the 4th of the month.
2. Contact the Benefits and Entitlements Team (BEST) approximately 90 days prior to your desired retirement
date. Contact them at 1-800-525-0102 to:
• Get your retirement estimate
• Identify the forms that you will need to submit in your retirement package
• Find out what option is best for you
• Have any questions answered
3. As Instructed by BEST, Mail the Retirement Package to BEST. BEST requests that all packages are sent
at least 90 days prior because of the high volume of requests.
Mail your package to: HQ AFPC/DPIRB, 550 C Street West Ste 57, Randolph AFB TX 78150-4759
4. SF-52. Coordinate with your supervisor to have an electronic SF-52 submitted to 21 FSS/FSMC (still shows
as DPCE) via DCPDS – your unit’s civilian personnel liaison can give you guidance on this process. This
should be submitted NLT 90 days prior to retirement date.
5. Contact Civilian Personnel to Make Out-processing Appointment. This should be done AFTER you have
contacted BEST and approximately 30 days prior to your retirement date. POC is Michelle Hizon, 556-4775 or
email Michelle.Hizon@peterson.af.mil
*Note: Everything is now done between the employee, BEST, and the organization. The only Civilian
Personnel Section involvement is processing the electronic SF-52 and out-processing the employee.
SUPERVISOR/ORGANIZATION:
1. Submit Electronic SF-52 to the Civilian Personnel Office. This should be sent approximately 60-90 days
prior to the retirement date.
2. Request Presidential Letter. ONLY if a person has 30+ years of service. This can include military time.
The form attached must be submitted 60 days prior to the employee’s retirement date. If it is received later
than 60 days prior, there is a possibility the letter may not be received in time. Contact Michelle at
petersonstaffing@peterson.af.mil or fax to 556-6228.
3. Obtain Retirement Certificate from Graphics. You will need to know the number of years the employee has
worked. This does NOT include military service. Employee’s organization will submit AF IMT 833 Multimedia
Work Order to graphics. The form can either be faxed to 556-8269 or hand-carried to building 418. If the
employee is married, you can also use the same form to obtain a Certificate of Appreciation for the spouse.
This must be done NLT 5 days prior to ceremony.
MY BIZ
Randolph Air Force Base, Texas – Air Force civilian employees who wish to update education information in
their civilian personnel records have a new, easier way to do so: through the “My Biz” web site.
My Biz is the self-service module in the Defense Civilian Personnel Data System. Instead of faxing their
transcripts and waiting for someone to update their record, employees can now do it themselves.
“The Air Force, in conjunction with the Department of Defense, has been working to streamline and automate
the manual processes of updating education, training and special qualifications (certifications and professional
licenses) into a web-based self-service capability,” said Kathryn Houston from the Civilian Future Operations
Branch at the Air Force Personnel Center. “Now, in addition to updating work and home telephone numbers,
e-mail addresses, handicap codes, ethnicity and national origin, and language, employees can update their
education through My Biz and it is immediately reflected in their personnel record. In the future, My Biz will
provide even more update capabilities.”
The goal is to provide faster and smarter service to employees by giving them the ability to go in and update
their important career information themselves, so it can be immediately reflected in their personnel record.
Prior to this change, employees could update some personal information, but not education. They had to
follow a process that included completing sections of an OF 612 and faxing copies of transcripts to the Air
Force Manpower Agency who then put the information into the system.
Now employees can update their own education information. They will only be required to provide Personnel a
transcript if Personnel has a legal or regulatory requirement to verify the education entry based on the
qualification standards, or if a position requires a degree or a specified number of course hours (this is often
referred to as a “positive education” requirement).
This procedural change will enable civilian employees to update their education information directly by
assessing My Biz <https://compo.dcpds.cpms.osd.mil/>.
For more information, visit AFPC’s “Ask” web site and search for “Education Updates” or call the 24-hour Air
Force Contact Center at (800) 525-0102.
VOLUNTARY LEAVE TRANSFER PROGRAM (VLTP)
Each year many employees with use-or lose annual leave submit applications to donate leave to employees
who have been approved to receive donated leave. Are you one of those employees with use-or-lose leave
that you would like to donate? If so, you should be aware that the law says the maximum amount of annual
leave you may donate is the lesser of (1) one-half of the amount of annual leave you were entitled to accrue
during the leave year in which you make the donation or (2) the number of hours remaining in the leave year,
as the date of leave transfer, for which you are scheduled to work and receive pay. For example, if you were
entitled to accrue 160 hours of annual leave in 2009 then the maximum amount of annual leave you may
donate under restriction (1) would be 80 hours. However if on the date of leave transfer you have 80 hours of
use-or-lose leave, and if you are scheduled to work only 16 more hours during the remainder of the leave year,
then you may not transfer more than 16 hours of annual leave because of restriction (2). Since you may not
donate more than the lesser of these two amounts, you would only be able to donate 16 hours of annual leave.
Furthermore, if you can use all the remaining 64 hours (80-16 = 64) of use-or-lose leave before the end of the
of the leave year you will forfeit the unused hours. The 2009 leave year ends on 2 Jan 10. Donation must be
received not later than close of business on Monday 28 Dec 09. The Civilian Personnel Flight maintains
current listings of recipients for the VLTP. If you have use-or-lose leave that you would like to donate, please
take the above rule into consideration when determining how much leave to donate and when you may donate
it.
ANNUAL LEAVE/RESTORATION POLICY INFORMATION
Civilian employees are reminded that generally the maximum amount of annual leave they may carry forward
from one leave year to the next is 240 hours. Current law requires forfeiture of annual leave, in excess of the
ceiling limitation, at the end of the leave year 02 Jan 10. The provisions for restoring forfeited leave are strictly
enforced. For this reason, employees are encouraged to take appropriate action to prevent the forfeiture of
their annual leave. If leave is forfeited, it may be possible to request restoration. The first requirement for
restoration is that the leave must have been originally requested, approved, and scheduled in writing prior to
the start of the third biweekly pay period before the end of the leave year. Thus, all use-or-lose annual leave
for year 2009 must be requested, approved, and scheduled before 22 Nov 09, to be eligible for restoration
should it be forfeited. Before forfeited annual leave may be restored there must also be a determination that
either an exigency of major importance occurred or sickness of the employee caused the forfeiture. As soon
as a supervisor learns that leave subject to forfeiture must be canceled due to an exigency, s/he must initiate
21 SW Form 298 (Request for Approval of Exigency) to the appropriate official requesting approval to cancel
the scheduled leave. At a minimum, the request should include a description of the exigency, which shows
that it is of such importance that the employee could not be excused from duty. If appropriate, an employee
then initiates a written request for restoration within 30 calendar days after the end of the leave year. Leave
restorations are coordinated with the Civilian Personnel Flight to ensure that the conditions for restoration in
governing directives are met, and that submitted documentation supports the requests. Restoration of forfeited
annual leave is addressed in AFI 36-815, Absence and Leave, Chapter 2. POC: Human Resources Specialist
556-4775
CIVILIAN ADVANCE SICK LEAVE PROCEDURES
Advance sick leave is a privilege which may be extended to an employee in cases of serious disability or
illness. Up to 240 hours (30 workdays) of leave may be approved by a supervisor; however the actual amount
of hours will be determined by your retirement balance. Requests for advance sick leave may be made before
or during the period of absence but no later than on the first day of the employee’s return to duty The request
for advance sick leave should be made in writing and include:
1.
21 SW Form 322, Request for Advance Sick Leave.
2.
3.
4.
5.
A statement of intent to return to duty long enough to earn the advance leave and to refund the
amount still owed if unforeseen circumstances result in separation before the leave is paid back.
An OPM Form 71, Request for Leave or Approved Absence, reflecting the dates and number of
hours requested.
A physician’s statement.
Most current Leave and Earning Statement (LES).
The employee submits a completed 21 SW Form 322, Request for Advance Sick Leave, form to his or her
supervisor along with an OPM-71 (Request for Leave or Approved Absence), medical documentation/physician
statement and Leave and Earning Statement for approval or disapproval.
When the supervisor receives the request for advance sick leave, he or she coordinates with the Civilian
Personnel Section before making a decision. The supervisor notifies the employee in writing if the request is
disapproved and when. If the request is approved, the supervisor endorses 21 SW Form 322 under
Supervisor’s Endorsement and submits to the Civilian Personnel Section for Approving Official’s (CPS)
Endorsement.
In granting advance sick leave the following will be carefully considered:
1.
Employee’s past sick leave history (e.g., evidence of previous sick leave abuse).
2.
Annual leave versus sick leave balance history.
3.
Length of continuous employment.
4.
Whether all accumulated sick leave has been exhausted.
Advance sick leave is not considered a routine or standard procedure and will be granted only after all
circumstances have been carefully weighed. Advance sick leave is not granted if:
1.
It is likely that the employee will not return to duty for a sufficient period to repay the advanced
leave or
2.
There are insufficient funds in the retirement account to liquidate the indebtedness.
