National Hispanic Heritage Month
Each year, we observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15th to October 15th, celebrating the
histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens with ancestors from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and
Central and South America.
September 15th is the anniversary of independence for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and
Nicaragua. Mexico declared its independence on September 16th and Chile on September 18th. Columbus Day
is recognized on October 12th.
The observance started in September 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon B. Johnson. In
1988, President Ronald Reagan expanded the length of the observance, establishing Hispanic Heritage Month.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Hispanic population as of July 2, 2013, was 54.1 million. Constituting
17.1 percent of the nation’s total population, Hispanics are now the nation's largest ethnic minority group.
Generations of Hispanics have enriched every facet of our national identity, with traditions that reflect many
diverse Hispanic/Latino ancestries. Moreover, Hispanics have shaped and strengthened the fabric of the United
States through their public service. Hispanics have exerted a profound influence on our country through their
strong commitment to family, faith, hard work, and public service. They have enhanced and shaped our national
character with centuries-old traditions that reflect their multiethnic and multicultural customs.
Fifty-nine Hispanic Americans have been awarded the Medal of Honor.

FOR TECHNICIAN HIRED ON OR AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2013
DEBT DUE TO INCREASED RETIREMENT WITHHOLDING RATE
FOR FERS-FRAE RETIREMENT PLANS
For technician hired on or after December 31, 2013 you became a new federal employee or were rehired to
federal employment having less than five years of creditable FERS service. Under the Bipartisan Budget Act of
2013, you are subject to the withholding of additional retirement contributions from your pay. When you
assumed your new federal job, you were notified during New Hire Orientation by the Human Resources Office
(HRO) representative that your retirement contribution would be under-withheld until the Department of Defense
reprogrammed the pay system to implement the required statutory changes. You were also notified that once
these changes were made, you would be responsible for paying the missed retirement contributions.
Effective July 27, 2014, the Defense Civilian Pay System (DCPS) was able to process the increased retirement
contribution rate for you. Your retirement deduction will be increased by 1.3% of your gross basic pay.
After DCPS begins withholding the correct amount of your retirement contributions, you should receive a letter
from your payroll office notifying you of the amount of indebtedness that you have incurred as a result of the
underpayment of your retirement contributions and explaining your repayment options. Please check your
MyPay account to ensure that it reflects your current mailing address. If you do not receive this letter by
September 20, 2014, contact your human resources representative.

EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION
Department of Defense has mandated a Self Service salary and employment verification tool that all employees
must access through MyBiz. You must go to MyBiz at: https://compo.dcpds.cpms.osd.mil/, and follow the
instructions to access the tool. All employees must use this method of employment verification.
With the Self Service salary and employment verification tool the technician employee should have an email
address for the financial institution. Once this email address is entered and email of employment and salary will
automatically be sent directly to the email address that the employee provided.

OWCP REQUIREMENTS
In an effort to comply with the OWCP requirements we are asking that supervisors, who have employees that
have suffered a work-related injury and have submitted a CA-1 or CA-2, establish whether this employee has
been put on Temporary Light Duty. This determination is made by the physician, accompanied by a CA-17 Duty
Status Report and evaluated by the employee's attending physician to ensure the modified work assignment can
safely be performed by the employee based upon the limitations of his/her medical condition. A memorandum
must be placed in the technicians OWCP file and a copy to Dept. of Labor. Please contact the Human Resource
Specialist/ICPA listed below to get a sample memorandum.
FECA requires that light duty assignments be provided to all employees faced with job-related injuries,
occupational illnesses or diseases. Such placements usually benefit both employers and employees. Therefore
any technician that has medically imposed restrictions/limitations that is accompanied by a CA-17 is thereby
considered to be on Temporary Light Duty. A copy of the light duty assignment and documentation regarding
attempts to place the injured worker is also provided to the Office of Workers' Compensation (OWCP) by the
ICPA. If the employee does not accept valid offers, Continuation of Pay and/or other FECA benefits may be
terminated.
It is the policy of OWCP to monitor injured employees who hold light duty jobs until they have returned to full
duty, or until the medical evidence firmly establishes that they will never be able to return to full duty. The
Human Resource Office has to identify technicians who have been in light duty status for over three months.
Reports are then submitted at OWCP for review and action.
Information to assist a technician in managing their own OWCP claim and/or assist their treating physician’s
office:
-
Medical bills should be mailed to: US Dept of Labor, OWCP, P.O. Box 8300, London, KY 40742-8300
ACS is the agency that handles Billing and Medical Authorizations – Contact them at: (850) 558-1818

TECHNICIAN TRIAL/PROBATIONARY PERIOD APPRAISAL RATINGS
Supervisors, it is your responsibility to complete an official performance rating after 12 months of service for any
newly hired technician that you supervise. For those technicians on a trial/probationary period, supervisors are
directed by the National Guard Technician Performance Appraisal Program (TPR) 430, Chapter 2, paragraph 25. New technicians will be carefully observed and appraised during their trial/probationary period to determine
whether they have the qualities required for permanent Government service.
During this period, supervisors should provide specific training and assistance to improve the technician’s work
performance if required. For retention beyond the trial/probationary period, the technician’s work performance
must minimally rate at the Fully Successful, Level 3 rating. A Fully Successful rating is when the employee has
satisfactorily met all assigned critical elements.
a. If retention is not recommended, supporting documentation will be forwarded to the HRO who will advise
supervisors and managers on appropriate action(s) to remove the technician from Federal service. Initiation of a
written removal action may be effected any time during the trial/probationary period.
b. A technician serving a trial/probationary period will not be given an official performance appraisal until after
completing the required 12 months of Federal service.
c. After completing 12 months of service the technician will be given an official performance rating in
accordance with the established performance appraisal program.
