Career Ladder Professional PDs

Technician Series PDs

Above GS-11

Instructions for Use of this Attachment:
Some Resources Careers positions may be primarily non-supervisory but have some limited supervisory/leader responsibilities that are already described in the Benchmark Position Descriptions (PD). Other positions may include the full range of supervisory responsibilities that occupy 25% or more of the incumbent's time.

If the incumbent spends less than 25% of his/her time on supervision, or if the positions supervised include only 1 or 2 professionals and mostly lower graded technicians, or if the position supervises professionals above the GS-11 level, this attachment should not be used. Consult with your servicing personnel office (SPO) staff to develop an appropriate supervisory PD for those circumstances.

This attachment is to be used only in situations in which the incumbent spends 25% or more of his/her time supervising multiple professional positions with a GS-11 full-performance level. In this circumstance, complete, and submit Attachment 1, along with an organization chart, the appropriate Benchmark PD, and a signed Optional Form 8: Position Description (coversheet) to the SPO for final classification determination. Contact your SPO for guidance.

(Note: If the position in question performs, for 25% or more of the time, ALL of the duties described under Supervisory Responsibility on the next page of this Attachment, then the position must also perform the Equal Opportunity, Safety, and Labor-Management Relations duties described immediately below that section.)
