DYNAMIC PAGE -- HIGHEST POSSIBLE CLASSIFICATION IS TOP SECRET // SI / TK // REL TO USA AUS CAN GBR NZL (U//FOUO) HR Update: Changes Affecting Foreign Language Incentive Pay (FLIP) FROM: Human Resource Service Center for SID (MD6) Run Date: 10/04/2005 (U//FOUO) This is just a reminder that as of October 1, 2005 the new NSA/CSS testing policy, Policy 4-5 , went into effect. The DLPT5 (Defense Language Proficiency Test) System was introduced and PQE Part IIA and IIB was eliminated. As a result of the new policy, FLIP will be paid for achieving level 3 as measured by the DLPT5 system (Multiple-Choice or Constructed Response) or for passing Part I of the PQE. (U//FOUO) If you have passed Part I of a PQE in a foreign language and you use that language in your officially assigned duties, you may be eligible to begin receiving an incentive. To initiate your biweekly FLIP, please ask your supervisor to complete the FLIP form found at the FLIP change request website or "go FLIP" and send it to @nsa. (U//FOUO) Once requests for FLIP are received and approved, they will become effective at the beginning of the next appropriate pay period. For further information on the DLPT5 and NSA's switch to the new system, see the: October 24, 2004 article on NSA Daily and the DLPT5 webpage .
