Sec. 330.501  General restriction on movement after competitive appointment.


    An agency may promote an employee or reassign him to a different 
line of work, or to a different geographical area, and it may transfer a 
present employee or reinstate a former employee of the same or another 
agency to a higher grade or different line of work, or to a different 
geographical area, only after 3 months have elapsed since the employee's 
latest nontemporary competitive appointment. OPM may waive the 
restriction against movement to a different geographical area when it is 
satisfied that the waiver is consistent with the principles of open 
competition.
