The DD Form 2525 certifies the work hours of experts and consultants hired on an intermittent basis by government agencies. Its main function is to confirm these professionals do not exceed the approved number of working days. This requirement comes from sections 3109, 5308, and 5532 of Title 5, United States Code. The Office of the Secretary of Defense Administrative Instruction 2 also governs this form.
The form captures key details about the consultant, including their name, organization, appointment date, office or committee, and salary. It also records the pay rate, number of days authorized, and current mailing address. A daily log of hours worked throughout the year is included as well. This creates a comprehensive record for the agency and the consultant.
A component head or designee must certify the form. This certification confirms that the assigned duties are critical for mission success, temporary in nature, and require expertise not found in the current workforce. The process promotes transparency and accountability in government hiring. Failure to provide accurate information may result in losing expert or consultant status.
