U.S. Office of Personnel Management - Ensuring the Federal Government has an effective civilian workforce

SEARCH classification appeal decisions,
Digest issues, and Digest articles

Periodically we publish the Digest of Significant Classification Decisions and Opinions (Digest). In each Digest we present summaries of several decisions and opinions that we believe have Governmentwide applicability. The Digest is designed to aid classifiers in exercising their judgment. Digest items do not supersede or supplement classification standards and do not constitute "case law." As a classification or job grading standard or guide is updated, Digest articles issued under the old standard or guide may be deleted.

Suggestions for improving future issues of the Digest may be made via fax to 202-606-2663, or email to fedclass_appeals@opm.gov, or by writing to the Director, Classification Appeals and FLSA Programs, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street, NW., Washington, DC 20415-6000.
