The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has standardized how Federal agencies should maintain Program and Project Management positions and what type of Remote/Telework Agreement Type is supported by a position.
Agencies are now required to classify each position under one of the four values using the new field ‘Program and Project Management Identifier’ and one of the six values for another new field ‘Remote/Telework Agreement Type’. The field details and values required for the two new fields are published on the Data Standards search page of the Office of Personnel Management.
To assist U.S. Federal customers with EHRI HR Datafeed requirements, PeopleSoft has delivered the following changes to accommodate the new requirements:
- The Jobcode and Position setup pages now to allow administrators to associate values for ‘Program and Project Management Identifier’ and ‘Remote/Telework Agreement Type’ based on OPM guidance as below:
