THIS IS A TEMPORARY ASSIGNMENT NOT TO EXCEED ONE YEAR. The selectee will be given a temporary promotion if eligible or be placed on a lateral detail if already serving at the advertised grade level on a permanent basis. If temporarily promoted, the temporary assignment may be ended earlier or extended for up to five (5) years based on management’s needs. It may also be made permanent without further competition.
At the end of the temporary promotion (if temporarily promoted), the employee’s basic pay will be set at the rate received prior to being temporarily promoted, regardless of length of the temporary promotion. The pay rate shall be increased to reflect pay increases (if any) received while temporarily promoted, as long as the resulting rate does not exceed the new range maximum.
Return Rights: If the duration of this temporary assignment is one (1) year or less, the employee will be returned to their permanent position of record. Return rights to the employee’s permanent position of record may be impacted if the temporary assignment lasts over one (1) year (including extensions beyond the initial appointment) and is in a different Division/Office. Office refers to the equivalent of a Division, not a geographic location. When both criteria apply, the temporary and permanent Division/Office must concur on the position to which the employee will be permanently returned to. If the employee’s permanent position of record is no longer available at the conclusion of the temporary assignment, the employee will be placed in a position that is comparable to his or her permanent position (i.e., same series, grade, and duty location). Employees will be notified of what their permanent placement will be prior to accepting temporary assignments that are longer than one (1) year or being extended beyond one (1) year.
Change in Duty Location: If the duty location of this temporary assignment is different from the employee’s permanent duty location of record, the employee's duty location may be changed to the temporary duty location for the duration of the assignment if the temporary assignment lasts over one (1) year (including extensions beyond the initial appointment).
Minimum Background Investigation (MBI) required.
Employee may be relocated to any duty location to meet management needs.
