Customs + Border Protection, and Immigration + Customs Enforcement officers. Many respondents claim that precious time spent
completing regulatory compliance is a distraction to managers and is perceived
as a non value-add activity.

The same cannot be said of the new compensation

to law enforcement pay and benefits away from Congress and give this broad new
authority to the Executive Branch. In

good practices initiated within leading businesses themselves.

Office of Personnel Management.

chairman of the House Subcommittee on the Federal Workforce and Agency
Management ., Over a quarter of FTSE 350
directors surveyed believe that the requirement to comply with new regulations
has a negative impact on their business. This in turn is driving up costs, tying up
capital and hence reducing profitability.
"These results demonstrate that many companies, rightly concerned about
costs, are missing the potential upside of recent compliance changes," said
John Taylor , Managing Director, Cartesis UK.

The ideas outlined in the "Concept Paper for a Federal Law Enforcement
Personnel System" would do little to enhance the safety or security of the
nation or provide incentives to attract and retain highly qualified
individuals to perform critical federal law enforcement jobs, said AFGE
National President John Gage.
"Hear what it is like for a Customs and Border Protection Officer to face
danger on the job every day and yet be denied full law enforcement status;
talk to a Criminal Investigator about performance-based pay in the real world
of federal law enforcement; ask a support person in a federal prison how often
and under what circumstances she must take up the role of Correctional Officer
because of staffing shortages," he said in letters. "I believe that such a
process will ensure that the subcommittees truly gain the broad understanding
necessary to judge the need for, as well as the types of, reform that would be
beneficial.

"AFGE does not agree with the basic premise of the document, which is that
the federal law enforcement compensation system is broken and in need of
repair," Gage said in letters to Sen."
"Therefore, those people who responded negatively to the idea of
regulation may have overlooked an opportunity.
