How much does the additional service credit based on performance affect the outcome of a reduction in force?
The possible effect of performance-based additional service credit is most likely to appear in the second round of the reduction in force process, when employees exercise their bump (into positions held by employees in lower tenure groups for which they meet the basic qualification standard) and retreat (to previously held positions) rights. Even at this stage, experience suggests that the performance-based additional service credit often has no impact on the actual final result of the reduction in force.
