4.6 Illustrative Human Resources (HR) Transition TablesThe purpose, key milestone timelines and configuration of the Human Resources transition tables are identical to those listed forGeneral Services on page 5 above.4.6.1 Locally Employed StaffServiceLocally Employed StaffService NameDescriptionLocally Employed Staff (LE Staff) (includes: FSN Initiatives, FSN Recruitment, Eligible Family Member (EFM) Program)LE Staff recruitment, FSN initiatives, EFM programs, and post language instruction. With respect to recruitment of LE Staff, post shouldnote that USAID is not a signatory to HR/OE’s LE staff Recruitment Policy. Nonetheless, we have agreed that where USAID and State areco-located, ICASS HR sections will still advertise all USAID vacancies, receive applications, forward applications to the hiring office,arrange interviews, and seek medical and security clearances for candidates selected by the hiring office. Once USAID LES are hired,they will participate in the local compensation plan, health care, and retirement plans. However, as USAID FSNs are hired under the PSCemployment mechanism which is unique to USAID, management of USAID FSNs will continue to be provided by USAID. USAID willcontinue to perform the actual personal services contracting through which its local employees are hired, unless in the future USAIDdecided to adopt the PSA hiring mechanism used by other agencies at post, including State. USAID will continue to maintain its own hiringand classification authority.
