n Tenure Groups
n Subgroups
n Adjusted Length of Service
Within each tenure subgroup (AD, A and B), employees are ranked in order of their adjusted length of creditable federal service, known as the service computation date (SCD). The SCD is the date, either actual or constructed, which is used to determine leave accrual rate, length of service for retirement, or retention standing for reduction-in-force (RIF). An employee's SCD may be the date of original appointment or it may be a constructed date to include periods of prior creditable civilian and/or military service.

The employee's adjusted SCD for RIF purposes is the date derived after credit has been given for his/her last three annual performance ratings. The total years "earned" are averaged to give the number of additional years credit for RIF. Performance ratings (actual or presumptive) provide credit.
