[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How easy it is to negotiate on things like vacation? I'm in this boat now...[/quote] With the federal government? You don’t. [/quote] Actually, the OPM regs say that agencies DO have discretion to credit additional years for the narrow purpose of Annual Leave - based on years of non-government work experience. Many civil service HR people are not aware of this option - and it is an option at the discretion of the hiring agency, and is not an entitlement to the new hire. So, yes, it can be negotiated, but some parts of the USG will not grant this as a matter of agency policy. Wise to ask, and wiser to cite the OPM regulations (on opm.gov) to the hiring agency when asking, but do not be surprised if their answer is no. [/quote]
