Retreating Sample Clauses

Retreating displacing an employee in the same competitive area but on a different competitive level and in the same tenure group and subgroup who has less service.

Retreating. A released employee will retreat to a position that is held by another employee with lower retention standing in the same tenure group and subgroup; and is not more than three grades (or appropriate grade intervals or equivalent) below the position from which the employee was released, except that for a preference eligible employee with a compensable service-connected disability of 30 percent or more the limit is five grades (or appropriate grade intervals or equivalent); and is the same position, or an essentially identical position, formerly held by the released employee as a competing employee in a federal agency. (5 CFR 351.701(c)) Example: An IA employee with a service computation date of June 25, 1978, may retreat to a position held by another IA employee with a service computation date of September 21, 1978, provided it was to the same position or one that was essentially identical to the position the employee once held. However the employee with a current annual performance rating of record of marginal or equivalent may only retreat to a position held by another employee with a current annual performance rating of record no higher than marginal or equivalent (5 CFR 351.701(d)).
