Common use of PRIORITY PLACEMENT PROGRAM Clause in Contracts

PRIORITY PLACEMENT PROGRAM. Section a. A Priority Placement Listing (PPL) will be maintained for the purpose of giving priority consideration in filling positions to Federal Bureau of Prisons employees who have been assigned to lower- graded positions through reduction in force procedures, or correction of classification error actions. Section b. In order to be placed on the PPL, eligible employees must make application on the prescribed forms for those positions for which they wish to be considered and for which they are eligible. Section c. Employees normally will be maintained on the PPL until they are selected for a position such as they requested or until they have been on the PPL for three (3) years, whichever comes first. However, employees placed on the PPL as the result of grievance or complaint decisions or settlements will receive the number of priority considerations required under the terms of decisions or settlements, not to exceed three (3) years on the PPL. Section d. The PPL will be consulted prior to the filling of a unit position, and all qualified employees on the listing for that position will be considered. If an employee on the PPL is considered but not selected for a vacancy, the selecting official will justify the non-selection in writing.
