The Air Force
Personnel Center (AFPC) Classification Branch is responsible for skill
coding all new accessions and previous work experiences for all
employees serviced by AFPC.
Skill codes are part of a computerized
record in DCPDS. They reflect duties of an employee's current position
and previous work experiences. These codes are used in referring
candidates for employment, placement of current employees into other
positions, determining training and development needs for employees and
selection for training under competitive procedures. By using skill
codes, pay grades, and other data elements, personnelists can compare
candidates' possession of knowledge, skills, and abilities with those
required to fill vacant positions. Skill codes provide information
about skills available or needed within the civilian work force as a
whole. They are useful in other processes such as skills location for
special missions or projects, special emphasis programs and Equal
Employment Opportunity (EEO) analysis.
The first full week of each month the
classification staff is dedicated to coding new accessions and updates.
Current policy for completion of coding is 90 days from the employee's
initial hire date or 90 days from the date of receipt of update request.
There is no one personnelist dedicated to a base; the coding received
each month is mass assigned. At a minimum, coding for all employees
will include experience three grades below their current grade or 10
years of experience, whichever is greater.
Employee updates must be submitted to
AFPC/DPCMC through the servicing Civilian Personnel Flight (CPF) at the
employee’s installation.
Employees should
review their career briefs on the secure web to check the status of the
update request. If 90 days has passed and employee’s web career brief
has not been updated, the employee should work through their servicing
CPF to request status. Please do not send status inquiries until the 90
days has elapsed.
For
issues concerning Skill Coding of personnel records, please contact
AFPC/DPCMC via email at:
Coding Issues
Inquiries should be
limited to those over the
90 day timeframe or those missing qualifying federal experience.
