PART 315_CAREER AND CAREER-CONDITIONAL EMPLOYMENT--Table of Contents
 
     Subpart I_Probation on Initial Appointment to a Supervisory or 
                           Managerial Position
 
Sec. 315.906  Crediting service toward completion of the probationary period.

    (a) An employee who is reassigned, transferred, or promoted to 
another supervisory or managerial position while serving a probationary 
period under this subpart is subject to the probationary period 
prescribed for the new position. Service in the former position counts 
toward completion of the probationary period in the new position. If the 
former position was supervisory and the new position managerial, service 
counts in the manner prescribed by agency regulation.
    (b) Service on detail, temporary promotion, or reassignment to 
another supervisory or managerial position while serving probation is 
creditable toward completion of probation. Service in a nonsupervisory 
or nonmanagerial position is not creditable.
    (c) Absence in nonpay status while on the rolls (other than for 
compensable injury or military duty) is creditable up to a total of 22 
workdays. Absence (whether on or off the rolls) due to compensable 
injury or military duty is creditable in full upon restoration to 
Federal service. Nonpay time in excess of 22 workdays extends the 
probationary period by an equal amount.
    (d) Service during a probationary period from which an employee was 
separated or demoted for performance or conduct reasons does not count 
toward completion of probation required under a subsequent appointment. 
In other situations in which an employee does not complete probation, 
service is creditable as determined by agency policy.
    (e) Temporary service in a supervisory or managerial position under 
temporary appointment, promotion, or reassignment prior to probation is 
creditable as determined by agency policy. Prior service under a detail 
may be credited only when a detail to a supervisory or managerial 
position is made permanent without a break in service.
