Recruitment and Relocation Incentive Waivers

What the Rule Says It Does

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a final rule to expand the authority to approve waivers of the normal payment limitations on recruitment and relocation incentives. An expansion of the waiver approval authority provides agencies with access to higher payment limitations for these flexibilities without requesting approval from OPM. In addition, this final rule gives agencies flexibility to set the length of the required service period for recruitment incentives to a period less than 6 months but not more than 4 years, which aligns the service requirements for recruitment incentives with those for relocation incentives.

This is the rule's own summary, as the Federal Register prints it.

The Orders It Names

• Executive Order 14168: Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government
• Executive Order 14170: Reforming the Federal Hiring Process and Restoring Merit to Government Service

The rule names these orders itself. What it does about them is a reading, and none is recorded here.
