Accretion of Duties. An accretion occurs when a qualified employee has been performing grade-controlling duties classified at a higher grade level for an extended period of time (normally 12 months) and will continue to perform the
a. The new position is not a reclassification from nonsupervisory or nonlead to a supervisory or lead position when the lead or supervisory duties constitute the sole basis for upgrading the position;
b. A majority of the key duties of the former position are absorbed into the new position and are planned to continue on a regular and recurring basis;
c. The expanded duties are within the scope of the work of the organizational unit on which the accretion occurs; and
d. Other positions within the supervisory unit are not adversely affected (that is, no other position in that unit could have been assigned these higher graded du- ties). A “supervisory unit” is typically the lowest level of an organizational unit where like work is performed. If, in accordance with Article 14 Section 5, Management elects to remove the higher graded duties rather than promoting the employee and the duties are later reassigned to the employee without an appropriate promotion, the employee is not required to repeat the position description and classification review procedures in Article 14 before moving directly to either the grievance procedures or classification appeal process.
Accretion of Duties. An accretion occurs when a qualified employee has been performing grade-controlling duties classified at a higher grade level for an extended period of time (normally 12 months) and will continue to perform the grade- controlling duties on a regular and recurring basis. If the action is supported by a classification determination, in accordance with Article 14 Section 5, Management may elect to noncompetitively promote the employee into the reclassified position if the conditions for accretion of duty in the USDA Merit Promotion DR have been met. For the purpose of accretion of duties organizational unit means a “supervisory unit,” which is typically the lowest level of an organizational unit where like work is performed.

Accretion of Duties. An accretion occurs when a qualified employee has been performing grade-controlling duties classified at a higher grade level for an extended period of time (normally 12 months) and will continue to perform the grade- controlling duties on a regular and recurring basis. If the action is supported by a classification determination, in accordance with Master Agreement, Article 14 Section 5, management may elect to noncompetitively promote the employee into the reclassified position if all the following conditions have been met:
a. The following criteria must be met:
1. The major duties and basic functions of the current position must be absorbed into the new position;
2. The current position must be abolished;
3. The new position must not have any known promotion potential beyond its accreted grade level;
4. The addition of higher level duties and responsibilities must not result in the abolishment of another position, reduce the known promotion potential of another position, or adversely impact another occupied position;
5. No other employee(s) in the same organizational unit may be performing similar duties prior to the addition of the new duties and responsibilities which precipitated a promotion based on accretion of duties; (Organizational unit means a “supervisory unit,” which is typically the lowest level of an organizational unit where like work is performed.) and
6. The employee meets time-in-grade and qualification standards.
b. The following actions will not be considered for a promotion based on an accretion of duties:
1. Promotion from one-grade interval position to a two-grade interval position (e.g., GS-5/6/7 to GS-9/11);
Accretion of Duties a. If the action is supported by a classification determination, in accordance with Article 14.5, Management may elect to noncompetitively promote the employee into the reclassified position if the conditions for accretion of duty in the USDA Merit Promotion DR have been met.*
b. Employees may utilize the procedures in Article 14 regarding a management decision not to exercise accretion of duties promotion authority.
c. Management recognizes that, if upon review, Management finds the initial management determination not to use its non-competitive promotion authority to promote an employee was improper, management has determined the appropriate remedy is to process the non-competitive permanent promotion action retroactive to the date of the initial management determination.
Accretion of Duties. If a position is classified at a higher grade as a result of accretion of duties, the BDO will submit the paperwork for the Employee to be noncompetitively promoted within thirty (30) calendar days subject to Article 13, Section 13.5.
Accretion of Duties. 4.1. If an Employee's position is reclassified to a higher grade level, the Employee will either be given the opportunity to compete for the reclassified position or a determination may be made that the Employee's position may be non-competitively accreted.
Accretion of Duties. Nothing in this Article prevents an employee from being promoted because of an accretion of duties.
