1/31/2013 - ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- The base will begin accepting applications Monday from select civilian employees, primarily in the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex, for voluntary early retirement and separation incentives known as VERA/VSIP.
This action is not related to the current fiscal uncertainty, including the possibility of sequestration.
"It's been in the works for some time," said Debra Singleton, Robins' director of personnel.
"This will help the complex 'right size' to its budgeted end strength for fiscal 2013," added Donna Frazier, the complex's director of business. "But, it's also an opportunity for us to shape our workforce to meet the requirements of the future."
Applications will be accepted from General Schedule, Wage Grade, Wage Lead and Wage Supervisor workers in a number of specialties. Among those eligible to apply are painters, electricians and engine mechanics to name a few.
The base hopes as many as 300 applicants are approved for the incentives.
Those selected will be offered an incentive up to $25,000 and will have to leave government service by April 30.
