handle is hein.gao/gaobabbyo0001 and id is 1 raw text is: UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE __ WASHINGTON. D.C. 20548 FEDERAL PERSONNEL AND COMPENSATION DIVISION B-202713 MAY 27,1981 The Honorable Donald J. Devine Director, Office of Personnel Management 115321 Dear Dr. Devine: Subject: Prsonnel Conversions During Presidential Transition: Improved Monitoring Needed) (FPCD-8l-51) The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) investigated 43 conversions 1/ processed during the recently completed Presidential transition period. These investigations, con- ducted at 3 agencies, led OPM to conclude that in these 43 conversion cases, 13 employees were improperly converted to positions in the competitive service. We have reviewed conversion actions in four other agen- cies to determine if any of these agencies' employees were improperly converted during the Presidential transition period. While we did not find any cases of improper conver- sions, we did find that in each of these agencies, some at- tempts were made to improperly convert excepted employees to the competitive service during the transition period. We also found that these attempts were prevented because OPM and/or the involved agencies were able to monitor the conver- sion actions. OPM's investigations and our review indicate that the Presidential transition period provides an opportunity for improper conversion and that OPM, by properly monitoring these conversion actions during this period, can insure that the competitive process is not disregarded. 1/Conversion, as used in this report, refers to the process in which an employee is converted from a position in the excepted service to a position in the competitive service.
