The three types of tenure are: Tenure I (Career), Tenure II (Career-Conditional), and Tenure III (Other). To put it simply, usually the order of release would be employees with Tenure III before any others, then Tenure II employees before Tenure I employees.
Tenure groups are categories of employees ranked in priority order for retention during reduction-in-force. The three tenure groups are described on the following pages.
Tenure Group I
Competitive Service - includes employees serving under career
appointments who either have completed initial appointment probation or are not required
to serve initial appointment probation.
Excepted Service - includes permanent employees whose appointments carry
no restriction or condition such as conditional, definite, specific time limitation, or
trial period.
Tenure Group II
Competitive Service - includes employees serving under
career- conditional appointments and career employees serving initial appointment
probation.
Excepted Service - includes employees who are serving trial periods or
whose tenure is equivalent to career-conditional tenure in the competitive service in
agencies that use that type of appointment system.
Tenure Group III
Competitive Service - includes indefinite employees, employees under
temporary appointments pending establishment of registers, employees under term
appointments, employees in status quo, employees under any other nonstatus nontemporary
appointments, and employees serving on provisional appointments.
Excepted Service - includes employees whose appointment is indefinite;
those whose appointments have specific time limitations of more than one year; employees
who, though currently under appointments limited to one year or less, complete one year of
current continuous employment; and employees serving on provisional appointments.
