Common use of Employee Applications Clause in Contracts

Employee Applications. A. Who Must File To be considered for an announced vacancy, an employee must file the appropriate application (as described in the announcement) unless the employee is in an area of automatic consideration. Where an area of automatic consideration is used, an employee need not file unless the announcement specifies that the application is necessary in order to address specific assessment criteria. B. Electronic Application Forms Management will afford employees access and instructions so that they may use Agency computers to complete automated applications, e.g. IVOL, USAJobs or equivalent, for SSA positions. Access will be granted to the extent that computers, related equipment, and computer time are available and such use will not impede Agency operations. For the purposes of this Agreement, access includes a reasonable amount of time during an employee’s working hours to prepare or modify his/her application.
