Sec. 511.607  Nonappealable issues.

    (a) The following issues are not appealable to the Office under this 
subpart. Such issues may be reviewed under administrative or negotiated 
grievance procedures if applicable:
    (1) The accuracy of the official position description including the 
inclusion or exclusion of a major duty in the official position 
description. When the accuracy of the official position description is 
questioned by the employee, the employee will be directed to review this 
matter with his or her supervisor. If management and the employee cannot 
resolve their differences informally, the accuracy of the position 
description should be reviewed in accordance with administrative or 
negotiated grievance procedures. If the accuracy of the position 
description cannot be resolved in this manner, the Office will decide 
the appeal on the basis of the actual duties and responsibilities 
assigned by management and performed by the employee;
    (2) An assignment or detail out of the scope of normally performed 
duties as outlined in the official position description;
    (3) The accuracy, consistency or use of agency supplemental 
classification guides; or,
    (4) The title of the position unless a specific title is authorized 
in a published Office classification standard or guide, or the title 
reflects a qualification requirement or authorized area of 
specialization.
    (b) The following issues are neither appealable nor reviewable:
    (1) The class, grade, or pay system of a position to which the 
employee is not officially assigned by an official personnel action;
    (2) An agency's proposed classification decision;
    (3) The class, grade, or pay system of a position to which the 
employee is detailed or promoted on a time-limited basis, except that 
employees serving under time-limited promotion for 2 years or more may 
appeal the classification of their positions to the Office under these 
procedures.
    (4) The classification of the employee's position based on position-
to-position comparisons and not standards;
    (5) The accuracy of grade level criteria contained in an Office 
classification guide or standard; or
    (6) A classification decision that has been issued by the Office 
under this subpart when there has been no change in the governing 
classification standard(s) or the major duties of the position.
