Under applicable law, the employment of an individual serving a probationary period automatically terminates when that period ends, unless the agency affirmatively certifies, in writing, that the individual's employment should continue and their appointment should be finalized. In the absence of agency action to affirmatively certify continued employment beyond the probationary period, such appointments are terminated. Upon completion of the probationary period, your appointment may expire unless you receive supervisory certification, in writing, that your continued employment advances the public interest.

For current Federal employees, if hours worked per week are not included on your resume, you must submit a non-award SF-50 as part of your application to be used to validate your work schedule and determine the amount of specialized experience that you will be granted. An award SF-50 will not be acceptable documentation for which to consider your amount of qualifying experience.

For all other applicants that are not current federal employees, your resume must clearly state either "full-time" (or "40 hours per week") or "part-time" with the number of hours worked per week to ensure proper crediting of specialized experience is applied.
