Title: Recruitment and Relocation Incentives Waivers 
Abstract:

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a final rule to expand the authority to approve waivers of the normal payment limitations on recruitment and relocation incentives. An expanded waiver approval authority provides agencies with access to higher payment limitations based on a critical need without requesting approval from OPM. Under this final rule, agencies will have authority to approve a recruitment or relocation incentive of up to 50 percent of an employee’s annual rate of basic pay times the number of years in a service agreement (not to exceed 100 percent of annual basic pay).
