Local Employment Policy Handbook - ICASS

Once the employment terminates, HR documents the number of days worked in the “Remarks” section of
the Separation personnel action, JF-62A, or SF-50, by including Standard Remark Code G30: WAE
employment totaled (enter number) days from (enter beginning date) to (enter ending date).
Not Ordinarily Residents (NOR)
AEFMs
For State positions, HR must hire an Appointment Eligible Family Member (AEFM) on a WAE work
schedule under a Temporary Appointment.
AEFMs hired under Temporary Appointments on WAE work schedules lose the USG employee benefits
received under a FMA (with one exception explained in the next paragraph). Additionally, when
employment ends, HR must terminate the Temporary Appointment, which also terminates the employee
from the FMA and means the employee isn’t placed in Intermittent No Work Schedule (INWS) status.
Exception: The exception is when the employee goes into the Temporary Appointment (on a WAE work
schedule) without a break in service from the FMA, or while in INWS status under the previous FMA. In
this case, the employee’s FERS and TSP contributions continue during the WAE employment. At the end
of the Temporary Appointment with the WAE work schedule, HR documents the number of days actually
worked in the “Remarks” section of the Termination personnel action by including Standard Remark
Code G30: “Intermittent employment totaled (enter number) days from (enter beginning date) to (enter
ending date).”
It is preferably for HR to report days rather than hours worked, because partial days worked count as full
days.
For Participating Agency Positions: HR hires AEFMs under a PSA with a WAE work schedule, unless
the agency tells HR otherwise.
EFMs and all other NORS
HR must hire EFMs who don’t meet the definition of AEFM and all other NORs with US Social Security
Numbers on a WAE work schedules under PSAs. EFMs and all other NORs with US Social Security
Numbers hired under a PSA with a WAE work schedule receive no benefits other than FICA and
worker’s compensation.
A NOR employee with a WAE work schedule is eligible for a step increase after working 2080 hours in a
pay status, excluding overtime. 2080 hours, excluding overtime, is equivalent to 52 weeks.
