Retention standing is the relative right of an
employee to be retained in a position when similar positions are being abolished and
employees in them are being reassigned, demoted, separated or furloughed. Retention
standing also determines in what order position offers are made once employees have been
released from their competitive levels under reduction- in-force
(RIF) procedures. An employee's retention standing is based on the following factors:
A retention register is a listing of employees within a competitive area. It serves as the
primary source document in conducting a RIF and is broken down by competitive level,
tenure group, tenure subgroup (veterans preference), and adjusted service computation
date, which includes additional
credit given for the last three annual performance ratings.
