Competitive Level. A competitive level consists of all the positions in a competitive area that are in the same grade or occupational level and classification series and which are similar enough in qualification requirements, duties, pay schedule, and working conditions, so that the incumbent of one position could successfully perform the critical elements of any other position upon entry into it without any loss of productivity beyond that normally expected in the orientation of any new but fully qualified employee.
Competitive Level. Competitive levels are established in accordance with applicable law and regulations. An employee is assigned to a position in a competitive level in accordance with regulations. Factors considered in the establishing of competitive levels are as follows:
Competitive Level. The competitive level for RIF consists of the position or positions to be eliminated and all positions at the same job family, category, and level whose duties and responsibilities are sufficiently similar to those of the position or positions being eliminated that their incumbents should be expected to be readily interchangeable, without undue interruption to the work program. Full-time positions, part-time positions, and intermittent positions are each in a different competitive level. A position as a designated union representative is not interchangeable with other positions because of the special duties of the designated union representative positions. Therefore, in a RIF, such representatives are considered in a separate competitive level in his or her competitive area and shall be retained above others within the competitive area and the competitive level which the employee would be in if he or she were not a designated union representative. A list of these designated union representatives is kept by the EA and is supplied to TVA annually at the beginning of each fiscal year. The agreed-to ratio of designated union representative positions to bargaining unit employees is as follows: EA—1 to 40 + the 4 valley-wide officers
Competitive Level. Positions in the competitive area that are in the same grade (or occupational level) and classification series that are so alike in qualification requirements, duties, responsibilities, pay schedule, and working conditions so that USMEPCOM may reassign the incumbent of one position to any of the other positions in the level without undue interruption.
Competitive Level. Consists of all occupied positions, which are in the same series and grade or in the same series at lower grades as the affected employee's current position. These positions must be so similar in all important respects that the affected employee might be reassigned or transferred to that position with no special training.
Competitive Level. Competitive levels shall be established in accordance with 5 C.F.R. Part 351 and Agency regulations.
Competitive Level. Positions in a competitive area that are in the same grade (or occupational level) and classification series share the same competitive level when they are so alike that the incumbent of one position can successfully perform the critical elements of any other position in the level without loss of productivity or undue interruption. Competitive levels will be established consistent with statutory requirements and governing regulations.
Competitive Level. A competitive level of a RIF consists of all jobs in a competitive area that are so similar in all important respects that the NCDC can readily move an employee from one to another without significant training and without loss of productivity or undue interruption.
