Q & A Session – NSPS to GS Conversion Promotion Opportunities

0

Ask the Lawyer received the following question (paraphrased for easier reading and clarity) from a reader on a legal matter that might be of interest to the entire audience.

Q:

Prior to the conversion to NSPS, I was a GS-12 and during my time as an NSPS employee I was grade YC-02. However, when I was converted back to GS I was returned to my prior GS-12 grade but my pay had reached GS-14, step 4. What grades am I eligible to apply for?

A:

The answer to this question depends on what the vacancy announcement requires and the level of experience you have had. If you have only had experience at the GS-12 level, and the vacancy announcement for a GS-13 requires GS-12 experience, you may apply. If a GS-14 requires GS-13 experience, you may not apply.
