Free brochures on the "Schedule A" hiring process
The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently published three helpful brochures that describe the Schedule A hiring process. Schedule A is special appointing or hiring authority that can be used to facilitate hiring individuals with disabilities into federal jobs.
Federal agencies fill jobs two ways, competitively and noncompetitively. Persons with disabilities may apply for jobs filled either way. Jobs filled competitively are advertised through vacancy announcements. Jobs that are filled noncompetitively do not have to be advertised. Instead, a selecting official can select a person with a disability who has a Schedule A certification and is qualified for the job.
The three EEOC publications listed below are available in electronic (.pdf and Word) form and in hard copy as well. To order one or more of these Schedule A quick reference guides send an e-mail to: LEAD.Initiative@eeoc.gov. Please indicate which guide(s) you are interested in, and whether you would like a hard copy or an electronic copy. For hard copies, please provide the mailing address to which you would like the brochures shipped.
- The ABCs of SCHEDULE A: For the Human Resources Professional;
- The ABCs of SCHEDULE A: For the Hiring Manager; and
- The ABCs of SCHEDULE A: For the Disability Program Manager and/or Selective Placement Coordinator.
