Retention Allowances

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final regulations to provide agencies with greater flexibility to pay retention allowances of up to 10 percent of an employee's rate of basic pay (or up to 25 percent with OPM approval) to a group or category of employees in certain limited circumstances. This flexibility will help agencies retain the specialized skills they need to meet their work requirements. The final regulations revise the interim regulations to provide further guidance on defining the covered group or category of employees, to clarify the intended use of a retention allowance, and to add references to a group or category of employees in provisions dealing with the reduction or termination of retention allowances.
