Series 400 Interim Update #05-11, New Expanded Policy on Time-In-Class Limits and Career Extensions
Issued: 07/19/2005
Posted Date: 07/25/2005
New and Revised Policy Directives and Required Procedures:
As the pace toward Agency rightsizing accelerates, USAID is expanding its capacity to retain senior experienced Foreign Service Officers. The primary objective is to provide stable leadership and quality mentoring for the growing cadre of new Foreign Service employees. This policy expands maximum time-in-class (TIC) limits for Senior Foreign Service Officers and likely increases one-year career extensions for FS-01 and FS-02 Officers who reach their maximum time-in-class and seek extensions under Section 607(d)(2) of the Foreign Service Act of 1980, as amended.
