| Qualification Requirements |
|
If a new employee is assigned to an organization
due to reduction-in-force (RIF), the gaining supervisor should be
aware that employees who are placed in other positions under RIF must meet all qualification standards, including medical and/or physical
qualifications, for the position. In addition, the employee's record must demonstrate a
positive ability to successfully perform all critical elements of the position upon
assignment to it, with only a need for job orientation.
In evaluating an employee's qualification for other positions, the Personnel Office
reviews the entire Official Personnel Folder; specifically, current and prior work
experience, education, training, relevant awards, and any special skills. The Personnel
Office attempts to find the best "match" - employee with position - within the
constraints of retention standing and with the goal of the least amount of disruption for
both management and employees.

Waiving Qualifications: If there is a vacancy within an organization
which becomes available for RIF, the supervisor may be asked to consider waiving
qualifications when there are no other
placement offers available for an employee facing separation. Qualification requirements
may be waived by the supervisor to assign an employee to a vacancy as long as the employee
shows the capacity, adaptability, and special skills needed to satisfactorily perform the
duties and responsibilities of the position.
