Details Proposed by Employee. A detail may be proposed by any employee. The employee shall submit a written proposal to the Agency that shall describe the entity to which the employee would be assigned; the position and duties to be filled; the duration of the detail; the proposed receiving entity’s willingness to have the employee on detail; the benefits of the detail to the employee and the Agency; and identification of the entity that will pay the employee’s salary and any per diem or transportation costs. Within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 30 days from receipt of the proposal, the Agency shall issue a written decision on the proposal that either consents, declines to consent, or consents with modifications to the proposal. The decision shall be based on an evaluation of the benefits to the employee and the Agency; the effect of the detail upon the operations of the office and the workload of other employees; whether the receiving entity is willing to accept the detail and its costs; the number of details previously undertaken by the employee; the effect on current staffing levels; and the proposed cost to the Agency. The Agency is under no obligation to incur or pay any cost of the detail. The Agency may deny the request for a detail based on its evaluation of the factors listed above. At the request of the employee, the Agency will provide its decision and reasoning in writing. In the case of a denial, the Agency will also attempt to identify suitable opportunities for career development if any are available.
