How will temporary promotions and details be handled?
Temporary promotions and details will be handled the same way they were in the General Schedule system. The servicing HR office will determine the content of the position announcement, if it is advertised. Generally, the announcements will be advertised the same way each has been done in the past. An employee can be temporarily promoted to a position in a higher pay band in the same career path, or to a pay band in another career path with higher pay potential. Selection for a temporary promotion for more than 120 days must be done competitively from an advertised position announcement. Pay is typically increased by 8 percent for temporary promotions, whereas there is no increase in salary for detail actions.
