A VITA employee who jumps to Northrop Grumman Corp. can gain a notable pay raise by moving quickly, according to the contract with the state's new information technology partner.
Employees will be offered a 4 percent pay increase with signing bonuses of up to 6 percent on top of that new salary, and a one-year guarantee against losing their jobs.

Does anyone know the statistics on how many sourced employees still survive from previous deals?
from the research I have seen, ALL of the COMPETENT ones. That rules out about 1/3 of the eligible VA State employees
I hope that's not true. If 1/3 of the VITA employees are incompetent, then we have a bigger problem than budget. The same managers that would allow incompetent employees to stay will still be in place...
it isn't the managers that are allowing incompetence, it's the politics of the state HR that keep them from geting rid of those that should have gone long ago. there should be no place in a successful organization for people seeking state employment simply for a guaranteed paycheck for life with no effort
Terminating state employees is probably a little tougher than in private companies because you have to take the time and effort to justify terminations. Other than that I don't really see much difference between state and private termination practices. I personally think that is a good thing. I don't want to think I could be fired for no good reason just because my boss is in a bad mood. No employee should have to accept that, public or private.
I'm not management so I am not aware of any other limitations. What state HR policies do you think are hindering the firing of non-performing employees?
