Agencies are required to establish and outline policies that implement the OPM provisions prescribed in this operating manual in their agency merit promotion plans, policy, and guidance. If it is determined that the supervisor provided technical direction, the grade-level of the subject-matter duties involved should be determined so that they may be appropriately credited. Agencies are required to use validated (i.e., job-related) assessment tools when examining applicants for competitive service positions.

These courses should be counted in determining (1) the overall grade-point average, (2) the average obtained during the final 2 years of the undergraduate curriculum, and/or (3) the average in the major field of study. In cases in which agencies prefer to request a waiver from OPM, agencies may submit a waiver request to qualification standards through their agency Chief Human Capital Officer for OPMs consideration and decision to approve the waiver request. Based on the March 2019 ECEC, wages and salaries make up a larger percentage of total compensation for private industry workers (71.8 percent) than for state and local government workers (65.0 percent) in the educational services industry.
