PART 307_VETERANS READJUSTMENT APPOINTMENTS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 307.104  Appeal rights.

    A veterans readjustment appointment (VRA) is an excepted appointment 
to a position otherwise in the competitive service. Veterans 
readjustment appointees have the same appeal rights as excepted service 
employees under parts 432 and 752 of this chapter, except the appointees 
are also entitled to limited appeal protection during their 1st year of 
service as set forth in Sec. 315.806 of this chapter. This means that a 
VRA appointee with more than 1 year of current continuous service, who 
is also a preference eligible, can appeal an adverse action to the Merit 
Systems Protection Board. Nonpreference eligibles serving under VRA 
appointments do not get such protection until they are converted to the 
competitive service.
