What does “retreating” mean in RIF?
“Retreating” means displacing an employee on a different competitive level with less service within the released employee’s own tenure group and subgroup. The same position or essentially identical to a position held by the released employee in any Federal agency on a permanent basis. An employee with a current annual performance rating of record of Minimally Successful (Level II) has retreat rights only to positions held by an employee with the same or a lower performance rating of record.
