Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on the Proposed Rule on Prevailing Rate Systems. In a few minutes, you will gauge your grasp of why OPM proposes aligning Federal Wage System (FWS) wage areas with GS locality pay, who is most affected, what operational shifts agencies must make, and where public comments can shape the final rule.
What you will get:
– A quick read on whether your current understanding covers policy intent, operational impact, equity considerations, and implementation trade-offs.
– A snapshot of blind spots to address before planning, communicating, or submitting comments.
– Guidance on which course modules to prioritize based on your responses.
Who should take this:
– HR/payroll leaders, classification and compensation teams, supervisors, labor relations, union representatives, and policy staff working with FWS or locality pay.
How to use your results:
– If you tend to prioritize administrative convenience over labor-market alignment, overlook pay-retention implications, or underplay stakeholder engagement, the course will help you recalibrate. You will leave with clearer criteria for boundary decisions, practical steps for payroll/readiness, and tactics for crafting persuasive public comments.
