Applicability of Noncompetitive Actions. Promotions - The following promotion actions may be taken on a noncompetitive basis unless otherwise provided: Promotion of the incumbent in a position that is reclassified at a higher grade due to the accretion of additional duties and responsibilities and not as the result of a planned management action. Promotion of an incumbent or an individual entitled to re-employment rights to a position that is reclassified to a higher grade without significant change in duties or responsibilities either on the basis of a new classification standard or as the result of correction of an original classification error. When the incumbent of the upgraded position meets the legal requirements and qualification standards for promotion to the higher grade, the incumbent will be promoted. Promotion of an employee previously selected competitively for a lower grade of a career ladder. Promotion after receiving priority consideration. Promotion of an employee when directed by authorized authorities (i.e. judges, arbitrators, FLRA, and other appropriate authorities).
