Employment (General); Use of Private Sector Temporaries

Resumo

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposes to authorize Federal agencies to use private sector temporaries for 120 work days instead of 120 calendar days as currently permitted. Agencies would continue to purchase temporary help services through the Federal procurement process following all applicable laws and regulations relating to the purchase of goods or services from the private sector. The proposed change would give agencies more flexibility to conduct their operations, as recommended by the National Performance Review.
