2428.1When a qualified person is available on the agency reemployment priority list, including a lesser competitive area reemployment priority list, as appropriate, a Career Service position within the competitive area shall not be filled except as provided in Chapter 8 of these regulations concerning priority placement categories and order of priority, and shall not be filled by the following:

(b)Transfer; or

 

(c)Reemployment of a person not on the appropriate agency reemployment priority list.

 

2428.2Subsection 2428.1 of this section shall not apply when all qualified persons on the agency reemployment priority list decline or fail to respond to offers of employment.

 

2428.3In selecting employees on the agency reemployment priority list from among those adversely affected by reduction in force, but who have not yet been separated, offers of employment shall be made according to the employees’ relative standing in their competitive levels.  In this regard, a lower standing employee shall not be offered a position if a higher standing employee qualifies for the position, unless the higher standing employee declines the position.

 

2428.4The order of priority in selecting from an agency reemployment priority list shall be as follows:

 

(a)For positions from which separated, offers of employment shall be made according to the displaced employee’s relative standing in his or her competitive level.  In this regard, a lower standing displaced employee shall not be offered a position if a higher standing displaced employee is on the agency reemployment priority list, unless the higher standing displaced employee declines the position; and

 

(b)For positions other than from which separated, preference shall be given to a tenure group I displaced employee over a tenure group II displaced employee, without regard to their relative standing within the tenure group.

 

2428.5When a position becomes available in the agency or lesser competitive area in which the reduction in force is conducted, as applicable, preference shall be given to the reemployment of a person who is on the agency reemployment priority list over a person who is on the displaced employee pro­gram list under section 2429 of this chapter.

 

2428.6A personnel authority may appoint a person not on the agency reemployment priority list or a person on the list with lower standing than others on the list only when it is necessary to obtain an employee for duties that cannot be taken over without undue interruption to the agency or lesser competitive area by a person on the list with higher standing than the person appointed.
