• A reduction-in-force (RIF) situation exists when the agency releases a competitive employee from his/her competitive level by: • Furlough for more than 30 days • Separation, or • Change to Lower Grade based on a reorganization or based on reclassification due to erosion of duties when the reclassification will take effect after an agency has formally announced a reduction in force in the competitive area and when the reduction in force will take effect within 180 days but NOT for changes to lower grade based on the reclassification of the job due to application of new classification standards or the correction of classification error.
