Training Policy Handbook
Introduction
Agencies have always had the authority to administer their own training
programs -- the law, funding authority, and related federal requirements.
This document serves as a single reference to legal information impacting
employee training. It covers the essential legal information needed
for human resource development professionals and managers to make decisions
on the management and implementation of training programs for agency
personnel. Specifically, it highlights important legal references and
citations from documents such as:
- The Government Employees Training Act (GETA);
- Executive Orders;
- Regulations;
- Merit principles and equal employment opportunity considerations;
and
- Comptroller General Decisions.
The information presented is general in nature and must be interpreted
within the context of individual agency policies and circumstances.
It is organized in two ways:
- the legal foundation for Federal human resource development programs;
and
- legal references by subject area.
