Recommendations

Disclaimer: Open/Closed recommendations are updated semiannually.

The Director of Management and Operations conducts training and reviews record retention requirements with post staff to ensure documentation is retained in accordance with Peace Corps guidance.

The Office of Records Management updates the Manual Section 892 guidance to allow post staff to maintain Personal Service Contract records electronically in addition to paper documentation.

The Director of Management and Operations reviews holiday and premium pay for other hourly Personal Service Contracts and determines if any additional collections are needed and then issue bills of collection or waive the collection. If needed, provide training on payroll calculations.

The Director of Management and Operations ensures the post follows guidance when processing Personal Service Contract awards and seeks approval from the Office of the Chief Financial Officer before deviating from it.

The Country Director ensures that disposals are conducted in accordance with Peace Corps policies by removing expired or wasted medication timely from the shelves, waiting to remove expired medication from the inventory logs until disposal has taken place, and witnessing contamination of expired medication.
