                    TITLE 5--ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL
 
                CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
 
PART 315--CAREER AND CAREER-CONDITIONAL EMPLOYMENT--Table of Contents
 
    Subpart I--Probation on Initial Appointment to a Supervisory or 
                           Managerial Position
 
Sec. 315.909  Relationship to other actions.

    (a) If an employee is required to concurrently serve both a 
probationary period under this subpart and a probationary period under 
subpart H of this part, the latter takes precedence and completion of 
the probationary period for competitive appointment and fulfills the 
requirements of this subpart.
    (b) An action which demotes an employee to a lower grade than the 
one the employee left to accept the supervisory or managerial position, 
and an action against an employee for reasons other than supervisory or 
managerial performance, is governed by part 432 or part 752 procedures, 
whichever is applicable. If the employee believes an action under this 
subpart was based on improper discrimination or other prohibited 
practices under 5 U.S.C. 2302, he or she may appeal to the Merit Systems 
Protection Board or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, as 
appropriate.
