THIS IS A TEMPORARY ASSIGNMENT FOR SIX MONTHS.

If temporarily promoted, the temporary assignment may be ended earlier or extended for up to five (5) years based on management's needs. It may also be made permanent without further competition.
At the end of the temporary promotion (if temporarily promoted), the employee's basic pay will be set at the rate received prior to being temporarily promoted, regardless of length of the temporary promotion. The pay rate shall be increased to reflect pay increases (if any) received while temporarily promoted, as long as the resulting rate does not exceed the new range maximum.

Return rights to the employee's permanent position of record may be impacted if the temporary assignment lasts over one (1) year (including extensions beyond the initial appointment) and is in a different Division/Office. Office refers to the equivalent of a Division, not a geographic location. When both criteria apply, the temporary and permanent Division/Office must concur on the position to which the employee will be permanently returned to.
