Conditions of employment

2-page Resume Requirement: Please limit your résumé to 2 pages (minimum 10-point font). If more than 2 pages are submitted, only the first 2 pages will be reviewed to determine your eligibility/qualifications.

Employment Conditions

Moderate Risk Position – Minimum Background Investigation (MBI) required.

Employee may be relocated to any duty location to meet management needs.

This is a temporary assignment for an initial six (6) months, may be extended, and can be made permanent. 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 permanently. 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. 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 station) 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 form 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 an extension of the temporary promotion beyond one (1) year.

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 to the temporary promotion. The pay rate shall be increased to reflect pay increases (if any) received while temporarily promoted, as long as the resulting rates does not exceed the new range maximum.
