Public Health Human Resources System

Overview
PHHRS Logo The Public Health Human Resources System (PHHRS) is a new human resources pay-for-performance system for non-bargaining unit employees at FSIS that changes the way we compensate, recognize and reward employees. It excludes bargaining unit, Senior Executive Service (SES), Senior Level (SL), and Wage Grade (WG) employees.

The PHHRS delivers greater flexibility, accountability and results than traditional Federal human resources systems. It equips managers with flexibilities that will help attract, hire or and retain top talent in order to achieve FSIS' mission. The PHHRS enhances and changes some fundamental business practices such as:
  • job objectives directly linked to Agency objectives,
  • salary increases based on performance, and
  • salaries for new hires based on qualifications, skills and labor market factors.

Through a Demonstration Project, the new system will test whether a pay-for-performance system based on results and linked to competencies will produce results in a public health environment.

PHHRS was implemented on July 19, 2009.
Current FSIS employees are encouraged to visit InsideFSIS, the employee intranet, for detailed information on this topic.
