Highlights
Because the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has taken several actions that should increase the number of agency contracts for commercial and industrial activities that Federal employees now perform, GAO reviewed the effectiveness of agency controls to preclude severance payments to former employees hired by Federal contractors.
Recommendations
Recommendations for Executive Action
| Agency Affected | Recommendation | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Office of Personnel Management | The Director of OPM, in coordination with the Director of OMB, should develop uniform, Government-wide procedures requiring contractors to provide the names of involuntarily separated employees who are offered comparable employment on or before contract conversion or who are hired within 90 days after contract conversion. This is necessary for agencies to enforce the OPM regulation. The Air Force's contractual controls appear to be reasonable and should be considered for inclusion in the procurement regulations as requirements for all agencies to follow. |
