CONSULAR AGENTS The Consular Agent program involves a separate special employment category covered by 3 FAM 8900 regulations. Therefore, the Consular Agent program doesn’t follow the Local Employment Policy, or the Local Employment Recruitment Policy. CA/EX is the Department of State office responsible for answering questions on recruiting and staffing positions under the Consular Agent program. For additional information, go to the Consular website at: HTTP://INTRANET.CA.STATE.GOV
CAJE POSITION EVALUATION As the first step in recruiting any position, the supervisor completes or updates a detailed Position Description and Job Discussion Help Sheet (JHDS) using the latest version of the Interagency Post Employment Position Description (DS-298). This includes all locally recruited positions staffed by fully qualified host country nationals, Member of Household (MOH), or any other Ordinarily Resident (OR), Appointment Eligible Family Member, Eligible Family Member, or any other Not Ordinarily Resident (NOR). Regardless of pay plan, all employees hired under the Local Employment Policy (LEP) encumber positions evaluated with the Computer Aided Job Evaluation (CAJE) system, even if paid from an American pay plan. The FSN grade of the CAJE-evaluated position is converted to the American pay plan grade equivalent as required for employment with participating US headquarters agencies. There are three positions are not CAJE evaluated: 1. Consular Agent; and 2. Community Liaison Officer (CLO); and 3. Positions staffed under the Professional Associates Program. HR may not recruit a position without: A. A current and signed PD and JDHS certified by the supervisor; and B. A current CAJE Job Report showing the FSN grade on the cover sheet. HR/OE provides a FSN to FP grade equivalency chart for HR to see the approximate American FP grade for NOR employees. HR uses the FSN to FP chart as a guide for advertising purposes on the Vacancy Announcement. If the supervisor selects a NOR, HR must first get from the appropriate State regional or functional bureau, or participating agency US headquarters, the official grade from the appropriate American pay plan before HR makes any final offer of employment. --For Appointment Eligible Family Members hired under a State FMA or Temporary Appointment: The State regional or functional bureau or HR/OE/HRM approves the American FP grade according to their classification authority after HR evaluates the position using CAJE. --For all other NORS hired under a State PSA: The International HR Manager in HR/OE/HRM authorizes the American FP grade after HR evaluates the position using CAJE. --For all NORs hired under a PSA for Participating Agencies: The appropriate US headquarters agency authorizes the American FP or GS grade (as appropriate) after HR evaluates the position using CAJE.
