The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has established templates for agencies to use when submitting dual compensation (salary offset) waiver requests. These templates contain the criteria agencies must meet in order to receive dual compensation (salary offset) waiver approval from OPM.
We strongly encourage agencies to use these templates because they will help your staff better focus on the kinds of information required in any dual compensation waiver request. In addition, use of the templates may shorten the time it takes OPM to process your request by eliminating the need for us to seek follow-up information. You can find additional guidance on dual compensation waivers to assist you with your requests at http://www.opm.gov/staffingportal/reemployment.pdf.
OPM may grant dual compensation (salary offset) waivers on a case-by-case basis to assist agencies facing an emergency, exceptional difficulty in recruiting or retaining qualified individuals, or other unusual circumstances. OPM may delegate waiver authority to agencies confronted with emergencies or other unusual circumstances. Each of the five attached templates is designed for use in particular circumstances.
Please contact Ms. Janice Warren at janice.warren@opm.gov or (202) 606-2367 if you have any questions regarding these templates.
