XYZ And More ...

  For a quarter century, the Federal Personnel Guide has helped civilian federal and postal employees safeguard their careers with accurate, timely summaries of the most important rules and regulations always in plain English.

  In all our years tracking pay, benefits and retirement, we’ve seldom seen a year to compare with this one. Changes are so many and so massive, even the experts are confused.

  That’s why you can count on the GUIDE. Every new rule is spelled out in the plain-English style that simplifies even the most confusing regulatory language.

  The Civil Service is being transformed ... banding and other pay experiments could torpedo the General Schedule ... and dozens of new rules, large and small, are affecting YOUR pay, YOUR benefits, YOUR retirement.

  The publishers of the GUIDE are meeting the challenge-with new information, sections, tables and charts. The printed GUIDE will be the biggest ever.

• New pay tables for information technology employees, medical officers, engineers, certain law enforcement officers, and D.C.-area clerical employees

• New charts to help you estimate growth of future TSP contributions and earnings
• A new worksheet to calculate TSP retirement benefits
• A new chart clarifying TSP investment options

• Major improvements to health plan tables, including plan-by-plan biweekly premiums

• A new worksheet to help you calculate your FEGLI premium

• An expanded section on this misunderstood new program

  The 2004 FEDERAL PERSONNEL GUIDE will spell out the current situation on outsourcing - also known as "contracting out" and "Circular A-76" ... that many civil servants see as a job threat.

  For business travelers, the hard-to-read per diem text has been replaced with easy-to-read charts.

  If you’re looking for a new or better job, you’ll discover a wealth of new job-finding information and tips.

  The GUIDE itself will be easier on the eye, with format and type improvements for greater readability.

  The 2004 FEDERAL PERSONNEL GUIDE will be available in late January. It’s wise to get the paperwork started now so you get your copies early.

  Call 1-800-822-5627 (202-FEDJOBS in DC) during business hours ... or order from our secure website. With so many changes ahead, it makes sense to protect yourself. Order the 2004 FEDERAL PERSONNEL GUIDE now for only $4.99 plus $4 shipping and handling ... and avoid every hidden obstacle to your career and your retirement.

Sincerely,

Sandra M. Harris, Editor
