Understanding Employee Benefits
Federal Civil Service employment benefits are an important attraction to working for the Federal Government. These benefits are available to most employees hired, depending on the type of appointment.

The retirement benefits are a major part of the compensation package available to employees. Another valuable component of the Federal benefits package is the health and life insurance programs. Other attractions to employment are the generous annual and sick leave benefits.

There are, of course, other incentives available to attract candidates to working for the Federal Government. But, the benefits on the chart are automatic and pertain to the type of appointment. The other incentives available are covered in the Recruitment Incentives section of this web site, and are "negotiated" incentives used to further entice applicants to accept positions that are otherwise hard to fill.

Refer to the benefits chart for applicable benefits for the various types of appointments.
