Classification Audit and Package Implementation MOI
Desk Audit Request
What is a Desk Audit / Position Review? A desk audit or position review is conducted to ensure the position is classified with the proper grade and title and accurately aligns within the organization’s infrastructure as well as position description to ensure the duties and responsibilities assigned meet the requirements of the organization’s mission.
COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS A desk audit MUST be requested by supervisors: Desk audits will NOT be processed unless requested by a supervisor. Employees do NOT have a right to a desk audit: Based on information submitted in the request the State Classifier will determine if an audit is necessary. If the request is deemed invalid it will be returned to the requesting supervisor with an explanation for denial of request. A desk audit is NOT a promotion tool: A desk audit is conducted to review the job duties and responsibilities of the position, NOT the qualifications of the incumbent or the quantity of work. Think spaces, not faces. Desk Audits do NOT guarantee a promotion: It’s true; a desk audit may result in the position being upgraded, however a desk audit may result in a position down grade or no change. Position description releases from NGB do not guarantee a promotion: New position descriptions released by NGB (PDRs/CRAs) may result in a position(s) upgrade, down grade, no change in pay, or only a change in PD#, title, and/or occupational series. Position description releases from NGB are not automatic: If the PDR does not abolish the current PD for the position, a desk audit/position review must be conducted by HRO Classification to ensure the new PD accurately outlines the job duties and responsibilities of the position in question.
The Desk Audit/Position Review process is NOT a quick process: Desk audits normally take 30 days but may take longer depending on the current OpTempo.
WHATS NEW? Desk audit requests must be submitted to HRO Classification using the official Desk Audit form: Desk audit requests must be submitted to HRO Classification by the supervisor using the WVNG HRO FORM511. Questions, comments, concerns? Send them to the NEW HRO Classification Email Address: NG.WV.WVARNG.LIST.HRO-CLASSIFICATION@army.mil
Union Contract
Douglas Factors Checklist What is meant by Weingarten rights? Weingarten rights guarantee an employee the right to union representation during an investigatory interview, when the employee reasonably believes disciplinary action may occur and asks for a Union representative. Weingarten Rights Title 5 United States Code --(USC) section 7114(a)(2)(B), Representation rights and duties, provides that: (2) An exclusive representative of an appropriate unit in an agency shall be given the opportunity to be represented at - (B) any examination of an employee in the unit by a representative of the agency in connection with an investigation if - (i) the employee reasonably believes that the examination may result in disciplinary action against the employee; and (ii) the employee requests representation. This right is commonly referred to as the "Weingarten" right, based on the U.S. Supreme Court's private sector labor decision in, NLRB v. J. Weingarten, Inc., 420 U.S. 251 (1975). Briefly, this Statutory right provides that when an agency representative questions a bargaining unit employee, and the employee reasonably believes the questioning may result in disciplinary action against that employee and the employee requests union representation, the employee is generally entitled to representation if the investigation continues.

USA Jobs Information
How to create a USA Jobs account
How to apply to a USA Jobs advertisement
Q. Do I need to submit a separate application for every job announcement? A. Yes, be sure to include the MT # on your application.Q. What happens after I submit my application? A. Your application will be placed in the file for the job for which you applied. After the closing date, it will be reviewed by HRO to determine your qualifications and your area of consideration. If you certify, your application will be forwarded to the selecting supervisor, by area of consideration (i.e. Area 1 first then if requested by the selecting supervisor, Area 2 and then finally Area 3). who will contact you for an interview. If you do not certify for the job, HRO will send you a letter stating why you did not certify.Q. What are Areas of Consideration? A. Areas of Consideration
1. Area One - Current on-board full-time support personnel in the WVNG and may be limited to specific activities within the state on a case by case basis as long as there is a pool of qualified applicants at that location, as determined by the HRO. (Does not include temporary technicians.)2. Area Two - All members of the West Virginia National Guard.3. Area Three - All members of the National Guard nationwide and others when eligible for membership in the WVNG.
Q. May I apply for a position with a resume? A. Yes, but use caution. The short, bulleted format of most resumes often won't contain enough information to certify you. Also, listing experience without dates, as many resume formats do, is of no use in determining your qualifications. If you do use resume software, make sure you follow the guidance in these instructions.Q. Should I fill out the SF 181, Race and National Origin Identification? A. This is an optional form and is not required but may be used to set up a selection panel, it one is used, and the data is used for statistical purposes.Q. When is the latest I can turn in an application? A. Your application must be in possession of the Human Resource Office on or before the closing date. Applications received after the closing date will not be considered.
