General Accounting Office






ACTION's Hiring And Use Of

Certain Noncareer Employees And

Other Personnel Matters


GAO reviewed several personnel matters at ACTION
involving the hiring and use of Schedule B and C
employees and the reassignment of career civil ser-
vice employees ACTION complied with regulations
pertaining to the hiring of Schedule C employees and
the reassignment of the career civil service em-
ployees.

ACTION uses its Schedule B authority primarily to
directly hire persons who possess empathy with cer-
tain client groups. Empathy is a trait which ACTION
believes cannot be identified through the competitive
process and the OPM Director appears to agree with
ACTION However, OPM's competitive bilingual and
cultural certification process was designed to identify
such individuals ACTION is not required to consult
wi h OPM or use OPM to determine the practicability
of filling Schedule B positions through competition
However, GAO believes the positions filled under the
Schedule B authority were appropriate for consid-
eration under the bilingual and cultural certification
process
