Pay
Minimum Salary: Grade GS-11 is $77,926, Maximum is $101,309. Minimum Salary: Grade GS-12 is $93,400, Maximum is $121,422.
Make sure no extra whitespace at start? It's fine.
Check for any boilerplate leftover: The qualifications block includes sentences like "This Position Has a Positive Education Requirement..." etc. Keep all.
We must not include "Additional information" etc. That's part of qualifications? Actually "Additional information" includes moving expenses, telework, probationary period, travel requirement, etc. Those are not duties/requirements/qualifications/pay/benefits/schedule. Should we include them? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to include that info somewhere. Where? Could be under a separate section like "Additional Information". But we only allowed headings for specific list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The instruction says: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., meaning those are examples, not exclusive? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we could embed additional info under existing sections if appropriate. For example, "Moving expenses will not be paid." could go under Pay? Not really. "Telework availability is limited..." could go under Schedule? Not schedule. "Selections are subject to restrictions..." maybe under Requirements? Could be considered conditions of employment. "probationary period" maybe under Requirements. "Travel requirement is 0-24% Seldom" maybe under Schedule? Not schedule but could be under Pay? Not.
We could create a section "Additional Information" but not in the list; risk of violating instruction. However instruction says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not an exhaustive list. So we could add other headings if needed. But they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we should incorporate extra info into existing sections where it fits.
Let's see where each piece fits:
- Moving expenses will not be paid. Could be under Pay (compensation) or maybe under Benefits? Not benefits. Could be under Pay as a note.
- Telework availability is limited and will only be provided on a rare case-by-case basis during situations where Agency Leadership has determined that telework serves a compelling DoD need. Could be under Schedule? Not exactly schedule but maybe under Pay? Not. Could be under Requirements? Not. Could be under a new heading "Work Arrangements". But we might add a heading "Telework" but not in list. Might be okay as it's substantive.
- Selections are subject to restrictions resulting from the DoD Program for Stability of Civilian Employment. Could be under Requirements (conditions of employment).
- As a condition of employment, you may be required to serve a 1 year probationary period during which we'll evaluate whether your continued employment advances the public interest. The evaluation will consider: your performance and conduct; the needs and interests of the agency; whether your continued employment advances agency or governmental goals; and whether your continued employment advances the efficiency of the Federal service. At the end of the probationary period, your employment will be terminated unless you receive certification that your continued employment advances the public interest. This could be under Requirements.
- We may use this announcement to fill additional vacancies within 90 days of the closing date. Could be under Requirements? Not really. Could be under a heading "Announcement Details". Might be okay.
- Travel requirement is 0-24% Seldom. Could be under Schedule? Not schedule but maybe under Pay? Not.
- This position is not covered by a bargaining unit. Could be under Requirements.
- Veteran's Preference: Veteran's preference does not apply under this Direct Hire Authority (DHA). Could be under Requirements.
- Retired Civil Service Employee: Employment of retired Federal employees receiving an annuity is subject to the requirements of the Department of Defense (DoD) policy guidance. (See DoD Instruction 1400.25, Volume 300, PPP Application Based Preference Eligibles (Military Reserve and National Guard technicians, Military Reserve and National Guard technicians receiving disability retirement, and Retained Grade employees) will receive priority consideration at the full performance level only. Could be under Requirements.
- The Security Designation will vary and dependent upon position and may require a secret clearance or higher. Employment in this position requires a background investigation which may delay starting date. If you are selected and cannot obtain a favorable security determination within a reasonable period of time due to disclosed/undisclosed background issues, the employment offer may be withdrawn. Individuals selected are required to obtain/maintain a favorable security determination to occupy a sensitive position within the agency as a condition of employment. Failure to maintain eligibility to occupy a sensitive position may result in termination. For more information see the security section of Understanding Vacancy Announcements. This is definitely a requirement (security clearance). Could be under Requirements.
- Criminal History Inquiries- For some positions, criminal history inquiries may not take place before you receive a conditional job offer. Please see Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution. A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package. As a federal employee, you and your family will have access to a range of benefits that are designed to make your federal career very rewarding. Eligibility for benefits depends on the type of position you hold and whether your position is full-time, part-time or intermittent. Contact the hiring agency for more information on the specific benefits offered. This is benefits info but generic; we should not create Benefits section unless specific. However we could note that benefits info is generic; but instruction says do NOT create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." but no specifics. So we should not create Benefits section. We could maybe include that sentence in Qualifications? Not appropriate. Could be omitted? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. This is substantive but generic. Perhaps we can include it under a heading "Benefits" but it's not specific; risk of violating rule. However the rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state benefits exist, but not specifics. The rule likely means don't create a Benefits section with placeholder like "not specified". But we have a statement that there is a comprehensive benefits package; we could include that as a
under a Benefits heading? That would be creating a Benefits section with some content (the statement). That might be acceptable because it's stating that there is a benefits package. However the rule also says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we can incorporate that sentence into Qualifications or Requirements? Not ideal.
Given the complexity, maybe we should create a Benefits section with that statement, as it's substantive (they mention comprehensive benefits package). It's not placeholder like "not specified". So we can include.
Similarly, we could create a Schedule section with travel requirement? Travel requirement is not schedule but maybe we can put under Schedule? Not accurate.
Better to create an "Additional Information" section for miscellaneous items like moving expenses, telework, probationary period, etc. The instruction didn't forbid other headings; it gave examples. So we can add a heading "Additional Information". That seems reasonable.
Thus sections: Duties, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Benefits, Additional Information.
Check each for substantive content.
