Passing Along: FEMA is expecting mass layoffs at 5PM EST
Details are unclear, but my source tells me it will most likely be all probationary employees. Download. your EOPF docs now folks. Get in touch with the Union. Stay strong.
If you get hired under veterans preference you get 108 hours of disabled veteran leave so you can close out Va appointments, get on a new schedule, etc. You also get 6 hours of leave per pay period instead of 4 depending on how many years you did in the military.
Do you know if this is at any point after getting hired? Or if you need to do it before, like negotiate leave as a vet? I ask cause I thought it was at anytime but a POC told me it’s supposed to be negotiated before I start. I got 5 years as a vet so I figured I get the 6 hours.
I randomly got my 8 hours of leave a few years early…. So I must have gotten credit. But even after digging into my files it didn’t really make sense to me…. But I was not going to ask HR about it 😏
