The Workforce Restructuring website provides resources, information, and guidance on various aspects of restructuring for agency management, human resources offices, and employees. Topics include Voluntary Early Retirement Authority and Voluntary Separation Incentive Payments (also known as buyouts) which are tools agencies may use to avoid or lessen the impact of reductions in force (RIF). Extensive information and guidance is provided to assist agency human resources offices responsible for conducting a RIF. General information on the RIF process and career transition programs is also provided for those employees who may be affected.
