Brought to you by the publisher of cyberFEDS®, Federal Personnel Guide and SmartAnswers for Fed Managers®, the Federal Manager's Guide® is the resource of choice for authoritative guidance for thousands of managers and supervisors in the federal government.
The 2011 Federal Manager's Guide® on CD-ROM (single-user access) is the same content as the print edition, but the CD-ROM is key-word searchable.
The 2011 Federal Manager’s Guide® explains all the rules and regulations you need to follow, so you make decisions that treat every employee fairly and consistently — from FMLA requests and termination notices, to disability accommodation and computer misuse.
And with all the changes in the federal civil service system over the last few years, new policies and procedures are in effect — so you need the most up-to-date advice to ensure your actions and decisions meet legal mandates.
