    Dear General West:

          Subject: AAFES Personnel Policies For UA Employees:
                    Issues and Concerns (FPCD-81-53)

         We recently reviewed certain Army and Air Force Exchange
    Service's (AAFES) personnel policies and procedures which ap-
    ply to Universal Annual (UA) employees. Our objectives were
    to gain an overview of these policies and procedures and to
    identify ways in which AAFES can more equitably or effectively
    manage its UA work force. We conducted our review at AAFES
    headquarters, Dallas, Texas.

         We noted several areas where increased management atten-
    tion could benefit AAFES and its employees and could provide
    more effective use of nonappropriated funds. Specifically,
    we identified (1) a number of unplanned transfer actions which
    were more costly than preplanned transfers, (2) several inci-
    dents of inconsistently applied mobility agreement policies,
    and (3) some examples of poor matching of employee skills
    with job requirements. We also reviewed the functions of
    the Central Promotion Board and identified several problems
    which suggest that management cannot rely on the board to con-
    sistently identify the best qualified candidates for promotion.

         In addition, we found that AAFES employees do not enjoy
    the same appeal rights as other Federal employees and are not
    guaranteed the right to receive the supplemental retirement
    benefits they earned for participating in the AAFES executive
    management program.
