Part-Time Career Employment Program

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3402 is required to maintain a program for part-time career employment within VA. VA has established regulations concerning this mandate (38 CFR 1.891 through 1.897). These regulations currently require field stations to provide a manual report to VA Central Office semiannually containing information concerning the number of part-time permanent positions established during the reporting period and the number of conversions from full-time to part-time. The purpose of the report is to monitor progress in attaining part-time career employment goals. This requirement for field stations to provide a semiannual report is deleted since the same information is available through the automated personnel system. The part-time career employment program will be reviewed through regular employment reports to determine levels of part-time employment. This program will also be designated an item of special interest to be reviewed during personnel management reviews. The authority citation is also changed to state the correct citation.
