Workforce Downsizing and Restructuring in the Department of Defense: The Voluntary Separation Incentive Payment Program Versus Involuntary Separation

Year: 2016

Type: book

Abstract: This report assesses the cost-effectiveness of using the Voluntary Separation Incentive Payment (VSIP) program — a downsizing tool available to U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) personnel managers — to reduce the size of the DoD civilian workforce, in conjunction with or instead of imposing involuntary separations. It also considers how the amount and structure of VSIP could be improved.
