DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. -- Dover Air Force Base is one of 24 bases that has employees converting to the National Security Personnel System from October 2006 through January 2007.

The Department of the Air Force has announced it will convert approximately 37,000 employees to the human resources portion of NSPS. Civilians from organizations across the Air Force, including overseas locations, are included in this group, known as Spiral 1.2.

Two target dates have been established for AF: 11,000 employees will convert to NSPS in October; the second group of 26,000 employees will convert in Jan. 2007. Splitting implementation into two time frames will ensure managers and employees are able to receive training on the new pay and personnel rules.

Arnold AFB, Tenn.
