Federal HR 360: Connecting Staffing, Pay, SCDs, and Compliance for Strategic Impact

Federal HR work is often treated as transactional: process the action, set the pay, and issue the SF-50. In reality, every staffing decision triggers downstream consequences. Veterans’ preference affects pay. Pay affects Service Computation Dates (SCDs). SCDs influence leave accrual, retirement eligibility, reduction-in-force standing, and future promotions. One small error can create years of compliance risk, retroactive corrections, or audit findings. This live webinar introduces the HR 360 Framework, a practical model that connects staffing authority, pay setting, SCD computation, processing accuracy, and audit risk into one integrated decision-making approach. Participants will explore common error patterns, understand what triggers audit findings, and identify practical habits that reduce risk and increase confidence in federal HR operations. This webinar also introduces deeper training pathways in Processing Federal Personnel Actions, Veterans’ Preference, GS Pay Setting, Service Computation Date calculations, and Audit and Compliance, including AI Applications and Challenges for Auditors. Key Takeaways By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to: Identify common Veterans’ Preference errors and adjudication risks. Recognize how pay decisions affect SCDs and future rights. Differentiate between SCD types and their downstream impacts. Spot common SF-50 processing errors before they become audit findings. Apply the HR 360 Framework to reduce compliance and financial risk. Identify one immediate habit change to strengthen HR accuracy and risk management.
