COMPLIANCE WITH THE NPC STATUTE AND VA HR REQUIREMENTS

Discussion

NPC employees work on VA-approved research and education within VA facilities. Often, this research involves veteran patients. As a result, NPC employees must comply with a variety of VA workplace requirements. Some of these apply to all NPC employees while others are specific to the work the employee will perform.

Implementation of VA requirements appears to vary from one VA facility to another so it is important to coordinate NPC HR management with the VA Human Resource Management office and the Research and Development Office. Information provided on this site should be considered no more than a starting point for developing each NPC’s policies and procedures to ensure compliance with local paperwork and training requirements.

Rigorous attention to VA HR requirements will help the NPC ensure a safe and professional environment for its employees.
