Other benefits may include flexible work schedules; tuition reimbursement; transportation subsidies; uniform allowance; health and wellness programs; and fitness centers. DHS is committed to employee development and offers a variety of employee training and developmental opportunities. For more information, go to the DHS Careers and select "Benefits." Disabled veteran leave will be available to any federal employee hired on or after November 5, 2016, who is a veteran with a service‑connected disability rating of 30 percent or more.
Qualifications You qualify for the GS‑13 level (starting salary $121,785.00) if you possess one year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS‑12 level performing duties such as:
Providing advice and assisting stakeholders on Equal Employment Opportunity complaint procedures and requirements.
Tracking and maintaining information within electronic systems and databases used to track Equal Employment Opportunity complaint activity.
Responding to Equal Employment inquiries and other requests received from internal and external oversight or regulatory entities.
Time‑in‑Grade Requirements Under competitive merit promotion procedures, any individual who is currently holding, or who has held within the previous 52 weeks, a General Schedule position under a non‑temporary appointment in the competitive or excepted service, must meet "time‑in‑grade" requirements (have served 52 weeks at the next lower grade of the grade for which you are applying). Time‑In‑Grade requirements also apply to current competitive service employees applying for a Veterans Employment Opportunities Act of 1998 (VEOA) appointment. All current or former Federal employees must provide a copy of their SF‑50, "Notice of Personnel Action," that indicates proof of status and time‑in‑grade eligibility. The SF‑50 must include your position, title, series, grade, step, tenure (1 or 2), and type of service (Competitive or Excepted). You may need to submit more than one SF‑50 to comply.
The qualification requirements listed above must be met by the closing date of this announcement.
Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional, philanthropic, religious, spiritual, community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) must authorize employment offers made to current or former political appointees. If you are currently, or have been within the last 5 years, a political Schedule A, Schedule C, Non‑career SES or Presidential Appointee employee in the Executive Branch, you must disclose this information to the Human Resources Office.
