Qualifications
To qualify for a Human Resources Specialist (Employee Relations & Labor Relations), your resume and supporting
documentation must support:
A. Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience that equipped you with the particular competencies
to successfully perform the duties of the position, and is directly in or related to the position to be filled. To
qualify at the GS-11 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-9
level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military or private sector. To qualify at the GS-
12 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-11 level or equivalent
under other pay systems in the Federal service, military or private sector. Applicants must meet eligibility
requirements including time-in-grade (General Schedule (GS) positions only), time-after-competitive appointment,
minimum qualifications, and any other regulatory requirements by the cut-off/closing date of the announcement.
Creditable specialized experience includes:
GS-11: Performing advisory duties involving Federal civilian disciplinary or adverse actions; advising
management on Federal civilian grievance procedures or negotiated labor agreements; advising management on
Federal civilian performance issues.
GS-12: Performing a variety of advisory duties involving Federal civilian disciplinary and adverse actions;
advising management on Federal civilian grievance procedures and negotiated labor agreements; advising
management on Federal civilian performance issues and assisting management with Federal civilian performance
plans.
B. Education Substitution: Such education must demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to do
the work. Education must be from a college or university accredited by an organization approved by the U.S.
Department of Education. See http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/Search.aspx. If using education to meet basic
qualifications, YOU MUST SUBMIT A TRANSCRIPT as supplemental documentation. To qualify based on
education in lieu of specialized experience, you must possess:
GS-11: Successfully completed a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree or 3 full years of progressively
higher level graduate education leading to such a degree.
GS-12: There is no education substitution at this level.
C. Combination: Combinations of successfully completed post-high school education and experience may be used
to meet total qualification requirements for grade level GS-11, and may be computed by first determining the
applicant's total qualifying experience as a percentage of the experience required for the grade level; then
determining the applicant's education as a percentage of the education required for the grade level; and then adding the two percentages. The total percentages must equal at least 100 percent to qualify an applicant for that grade level. Only graduate education in excess of the amount required for the next lower grade level may be used to qualify applicants for positions at grade GS-11.
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.
Education
Are you using your education to qualify? You MUST provide transcripts or other documentation to support your educational claims. Unless otherwise stated: Unofficial transcripts are acceptable at time of application.
GRADUATE EDUCATION: One academic year of graduate education is considered to be the number of credits hours that your graduate school has determined to represent one academic year of full-time study. Such study may have been performed on a full-time or part-time basis. If you cannot obtain your graduate school's definition of one year of graduate study, 18 semester hours (or 27 quarter hours) should be considered as satisfying the requirement for one year of full-time graduate study.
FOREIGN EDUCATION: If you are using education completed in foreign colleges or universities to meet the qualification requirements, you must show that the education credentials have been evaluated by a private organization that specializes in interpretation of foreign education programs and such education has been deemed equivalent to that gained in an accredited U.S. education program; or full credit has been given for the courses at a U.S. accredited college or university.
