The experience requirements defined in any qualification standard may be modified for noncompetitive actions
such as reassignments and changes to lower grade to allow the identification of closely
related experience to be qualifying. Qualification requirements for positions with greater
promotion potential may also be modified in keeping with merit promotion procedures which
means selection must be done competitively so that all eligibles are considered under the
same modified criteria. This added flexibility allows managers to select candidates who clearly show the
capability to perform the major task requirements of the position being filled based on
closely related experience.
The decision to modify qualifications standards remains with the supervisor of a position,
while the determination of closely related experience becomes a joint effort between the
supervisor and
personnel specialists involved in the Job Analysis and Crediting Plan development process.
This provision does not authorize modification of minimum education, licensure, or
certification requirements.
