Conditions of employment

Completion of Financial Disclosure may be required.

Minimum Background Investigation (MBI) required.

THIS IS A TEMPORARY ASSIGNMENT FOR 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.  This assignment may be terminated early or extended based on management’s needs.  If temporarily promoted, the temporary promotion cannot exceed five (5) years, nor can it be made permanent. 

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 the 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 temporary assignment is not made permanent and its duration is one year or less, the employee will be returned to a position that is comparable to his or her permanent position (i.e., same series, grade, and duty location) in the same or successor Division/Office. If, however, the temporary assignment is not made permanent, is to a position in a different Division/Office from the employee’s permanent Division/Office and exceeds one year (including extensions beyond one year of the initial appointment of one year or less), the employee will not be returned to his or her permanent position of record. Instead, the employee will be placed in a permanent position comparable to his or her permanent position of record (at the same grade and pay) in the Division/Office and duty location where the temporary assignment is located. Since an extension of a temporary promotion beyond one (1) year will directly impact the employee’s return rights to his or her permanent Division/Office and duty location, the employee must concur in advance with any extension of the temporary promotion 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).

Qualifications

Qualifying experience may be obtained in the private or public sector. Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic, religious/spiritual; community; student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. Additional qualifications information can be found here.

To qualify for CG-13, applicants must have one year of specialized experience equivalent to the grade 12 level or above, in the Federal service. Specialized experience is experience performing compliance examinations of insured depository institutions; and providing coaching and delivering training to examiners.

To qualify for CG-14, applicants must have one year of specialized experience equivalent to the grade 13 level or above, in the Federal service. Specialized experience is experience developing, delivering, and leading compliance examiner training; and assessing the coaching and training of other examiners.

Applicants must have met the qualification requirements (including selective placement factors – if any) for this position within 30 calendar days of the closing date of this announcement.

For qualification determinations, your resume must contain the following for each work experience listed:

  • Organization/Agency's Name
  • Title
  • Salary (series and grade, if applicable)
  • Start and end dates (including the month and year)
  • Number of hours you worked per week
  • Relevant experience that supports your response to the specialized experience that is stated in the job announcement

If your resume does not contain this information, your application may be marked as incomplete, and you may not receive consideration for this position.

Education

Additional information

If selected, you may be required to serve a probationary or trial period as applicable to appointment type. During the probationary or trial period, you will be evaluated for fitness and whether your continued employment advances the public interest. In determining if your employment advances the public interest, we may consider: 

  • your performance and conduct;
  • the needs and interests of the agency;
  • whether your continued employment would advance organizational goals of the agency or the Government; and
  • whether your continued employment would advance the efficiency of the Federal service.
