Temporary promotions are intended for meeting temporary needs of the agency's work program when necessary services cannot be provided by other means. Temporary promotions can be used in situations such as unanticipated absences, temporary shortage of employees, emergency work situations, or pending permanent fill action.
The initial 120 days of a temporary promotion may be made noncompetitively, which means the selected employee does not have to compete with other employees for the temporary assignment. However, if it is to be extended beyond that time it must be opened for competition with others. For an employee to be temporarily promoted, all qualification requirements must be met the same as if the promotion were permanent. This requires developing a job analysis and Crediting Plan, and referring a Merit Promotion Certificate to the supervisor for selection.
For employees covered by the bargaining unit, the union contract should be reviewed prior to effecting this action.
