JOIN A GREAT FSIS
TEAM!
The Food Safety and
Inspection Service (FSIS) is a public health
regulatory agency of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Our
mission is to protect
consumers by ensuring that the commercial
supply of meat*,
poultry, and egg products moving in interstate
commerce or exported
to other countries is safe, wholesome and
correctly labeled and
packaged.
* The "Food
Conservation and Energy Act of 2008", also referred to
as the "2008 Farm
Bill", was signed into Law on June 18, 2008. The
Farm Bill amends the
Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) to include
Catfish as an amenable
species under the Act.
This position is
covered by the Public Health Human Resources
(PHHRS) Demonstration
Project.
Effective July 19,
2009, FSIS began operating under the PHHRS, a Pay
Banding and Pay for
Performance Demonstration Project, in which non-
bargaining unit
positions will be classified by career path,
occupational series,
and pay bands rather than the traditional
General Schedule (GS)
grades in the Federal Service. The AP-5S pay
band is equivalent to
the GS-13/14 levels.
PHHRS will offer
flexibility to offer exceptional candidates higher
salaries than most
other Federal agencies. Additionally, employees
will be eligible to
receive an annual pay increase based upon
performance.

tables and how it will
benefit employees, please visit:
