Competitive Levels a. Criteria used for establishing competitive levels: A competitive level consists of all the positions in a competitive area which are in the same grade (or occupational level) and classification series, and which are similar enough in duties, qualification requirements, pay schedules, and working conditions so that an agency may reassign the incumbent of one position to any of the other positions in the level without undue interruption. 1. Undue interruption: Undue interruption is a degree of interruption that would prevent the completion of required work by the employee 90 days after the employee has been placed in a different position. The 90-day standard should be considered within the allowable limits of time and quality, taking into account the pressures of priorities, deadlines, and other demands. However, a work program would generally not be unduly interrupted even if an employee needed more than 90 days after the reduction in force to perform the optimum quality or quantity of work. The 90-day standard may be extended if placement is made under this part to a low priority program or to a vacant position. 2. Qualification considerations: Competitive level determinations are based on each employee’s official position, not the employee’s personal qualifications. b. As soon as practicable following a request, the Union will be furnished a copy of the competitive level documentation; an employee may also request and receive information pertinent to his/her case. c. No later than 10 workdays from the time an employee receives a specific RIF notice, the employee may review a listing of the competitive level in which he/she has been placed, consistent with the Privacy Act, as well as an explanation of the competitive level structure.

Competitive Levels a. Competitive level - a group of all positions in a competitive area which are in the same grade or occupational level, and classification series and which are similar enough in duties, qualification requirements, pay schedules, and working conditions so that the agency may reassign the incumbent of one position to any of the other positions in the level without undue interruption. It is the concept of interchangeability that is paramount. The competitive level is based upon each employee's position description, not on the employee's personal qualifications. Only occupied positions are included in a competitive level. During the RIF process management will utilize continuing vacancies to minimize the adverse impact of the RIF. b. Separate competitive levels are established in each competitive area according to the following: (1) By service - Competitive vs. Excepted. (2) By appointment authority - Separate levels are established for Excepted Service positions filled under different appointment authorities. (3) By pay schedule. (4) By type of work schedule - Full-time, part-time, intermittent, seasonal, or on-call basis. No distinction may be made among employees in the competitive level on the basis of the number of hours or weeks scheduled to be worked. (5) By trainee status - Separate levels for employees in formally designated trainee or developmental programs, as defined by 5 CFR 351.702 (e) (1) through (4). c. A position is placed in a competitive level when it is established. The competitive level is shown on the position description cover sheet, and is entered into the NFC automated personnel inventory system. d. The initial round of competition in a RIF action is among employees in the same competitive area who are assigned to positions in the same competitive level. e. Each subsequent round of competition in RIF attempts to place an employee released from their competitive level in previous round through exercise of their Bump and Retreat rights.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Participant may, directly or indirectly own, solely as an investment, securities of any Person engaged in any Competitive Business that are publicly traded on a national or regional stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market if the Participant (i) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, such Person and (ii) does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person. Any such qualifying ownership shall not be deemed to be engaging in Competitive Activity or a Restrictive Covenant Violation for purposes of this Agreement.

Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained in this Section 6(b).
