29 Sep 14 - DES Over-hires

Question:  Will you keep the DES over-hires?

Answer:  I will probably leave them there.  It is not my intention at this point to RIF anyone if I don’t have to.  If I have to conduct a RIF, the challenge that I am faced with is trying to fill positions with over-hires.  I currently have 138 vacancies, but am at 98% strength because of the over-hires.  We are hoping to be allowed to use RIF rules to fill vacancies. For example: a 1 up/1 down transfer, or a 90 day On-the-job-training (OJT). Right now we can’t move personnel if they don’t meet the minimum requirements.
