Comments:

Section 9901.516 – Internal placement – The proposed regulations would allow DOD to establish in-service probationary periods and prescribe conditions for completing such periods as assignments, reassignments, reinstatements, details, transfers and promotions. Currently an employee moving into a supervisory position for the first time serves an additional probationary period. DOD would be able to set these additional probationary periods for any and all positions. All promotions could be considered probationary under this section. The proposed regulation does not say what happens to an employee who does not complete an in-service probationary period successfully.
