Limited Senior Executive Service (SES) Appointments and Bonuses
KEY FEATURES • The Administrator is authorized to fill a Career Reserved SES position on a temporary basis to fill a bona fide temporary need. The use of this appointment authority is not limited to addressing project-based needs or emergencies. For example, it may be used to fill a continuing SES vacancy on a time-limited basis caused by the temporary absence of the incumbent due to illness, long-term training, or a temporary detail to another position. • The limited term appointment may be for a period of four years or less if the duties of the job will expire at the end of the term, or for one year or less if the duties are continuing. In rare circumstances the Administrator may authorize an extension of a limited term appointment of one year to a continuing position or two years in other cases. • Individuals who are given SES limited term appointments under this authority may be given performance awards (SES bonuses) in the same amounts and same manner as SES career appointees on permanent appointments. |
