Defense Civilian Intelligence Personnel System Is Gone, Too

I've gotten some emails asking about this, and the answer is yes. It's not just the National Security Personnel System that is repealed in the conference report (and the House is scheduled to vote on that report today). It's the Defense Civilian Intelligence Personnel System, which throws a major kink in the efforts underway there under Chief Human Capital Officer Ron Sanders to create a common pay system there to go along with the performance management system he's been putting in place. Implementation of the rollback of NSPS was never going to be simple. This won't be either. But at least the challenges they create may open up a space for conversation about performance management and pay-for-performance government-wide.
