Relating to desk audits and accretion of duties, what is not appealable?
The content or accuracy of the position description is not appealable. The accuracy of the classification standard is also not appealable. The reason these are not appealable is that these are considered to be a ‘management right’ and have been established by OPM. (Note: Classification appeals never go thru MSPB). If, however, the content of the PD is obviously inconsistent with the duties and responsibilities for which that position was established, the Bureau of Hearing & Appeals at DOI would consider reviewing the information.
