Under what appointments does an employee receive a within grade increase?
GS employees: An employee who occupies a permanent position regardless of work schedule (i.e., full-time, part-time, seasonal or intermittent) or type of service (i.e., competitive or excepted) receives within grade increases. A permanent position is defined as a position filled by an employee whose appointment is not designated as temporary by law and does not have a definite time limitation of one year or less. Within grade increases are given to employees serving on term appointments. WG employees: All WG employees are entitled to receive with-in-grade increases.
