The NLRB received authorization from the Office of Personnel Management earlier this month to offer Voluntary Early Retirement Authority and Voluntary Separation Incentive Payments to labor board employees. According to the agency, the move is an effort to “rebalance” the composition of staff members at their headquarters and regional offices and “realign staffing with office caseloads”. The reductions would also reportedly allow greater allocations for training and technology improvements. NLRB employees that are fifty and older with at least twenty-five years of service are eligible for early retirement and would get up to $25,000 upon leaving their post.
