Sec. 511.605  Time limits.

    (a) Employees. (1) An employee may submit an appeal of his or her 
official position at any time. If the employee has suffered a loss in 
grade or pay, is not entitled to retained grade or pay, and desires 
retroactive adjustments, the time limits in Sec. 511.703 must be 
observed.
    (2) If the employee is appealing an agency decision or an Office 
classification certificate issued under 5 U.S.C. 5103 or 5110, the 
employee shall promptly appeal if he or she disagrees with the 
classification certificate. Employees must meet the time limits provided 
in Sec. 511.703 in order to preserve the right to retroactive 
adjustment.
    (b) Agency. An agency may appeal an Office classification 
certificate issued under authority of section 5103 or 5110 of title 5, 
United States Code, at any time. Heads of agencies should appeal prior 
to the implementation date of the certificate if they disagree with the 
classification rationale.
    (c) Reconsideration. An employee or agency may request 
reconsideration of an Office appellate decision. The request must be in 
writing, and filed not later than 45 calendar days after the decision is 
issued. This time limit may be waived under exceptional circumstances by 
either the Classification Appeals Office or the Director.
