U.S. Office of Personnel Management - Ensuring the Federal Government has an effective civilian workforce

Before filing an appeal, you should make sure that your position description identifies the major duties you are assigned and perform. Because your agency is responsible for assigning duties to your position and including them in your current position description, and classifying the position accordingly, usually we will not accept an appeal until your agency has fulfilled this responsibility.

If the position description is significantly inaccurate, you should try to resolve the problem by discussing it with your supervisor and perhaps a representative of your human resources office. If you are unable to resolve the problem at this level, you should use your agency's negotiated or administrative grievance procedure. If you are unable to obtain an accurate position description through the grievance procedure, we may accept your appeal and determine the proper classification based on the duties assigned by management and performed by you.
