I came in to work this morning and found a book on my chair. It is the 2009 Federal Employees Almanac. Hopefully it was bought at a bargain since 2010 begins this week. Anyway, this book is a must have for a federal employee, especially any new federal employee. It covers Pay, Insurance, Retirement, Leave & Benefits, TSP, Sepatation, Roles and Responsibilities, and a whole bunch more.
I've been a federal employee for many years now and some of the things I've read here I'm learning for the first time. As a federal employee you are assumed to already know everything. This book doesn't so that. It spells it all out for you.
I don't think a person needs to get an updated copy each year, but if you get just one, that will probably serve as a good reference point for answering difficult questions concerning federal service.
