An employee is eligible, following release from a competitive level, to be assigned to a position for which qualified and occupied by another employee or to a vacant position. Assignment rights, called bump and retreat, constitute the second round of competition when employees compete for jobs in other competitive levels.

Bumping: is an employee's right of assignment to a position occupied by another employee in a lower tenure group, or in a lower tenure subgroup within the same tenure group, in another competitive level in the same competitive area.

Retreating: is an employee's right of assignment to a position formerly held, or essentially identical to one previously held, when the position is occupied by a lower- standing employee in the same tenure subgroup, and is in another competitive level in the same competitive area.
