The Bottom Line

As was stated earlier in this section, public service is a public trust.

SGEs are typically recruited for temporary service to the Government because they provide outside expertise or perspectives that might be unavailable among an agency's regular employees.

Although SGEs are temporary Government employees, they are an essential part of how Government conducts its business. SGEs are Government employees and must not put their private interests above the interests of the American public.
