The information here applies only to those between agencies. There is no requirement to post mobility assignments, so generally the best way to find out about these opportunities is to network within and outside your agency. Sometimes mobility opportunities are listed in the promotional section of the Career Opportunities Bulletin or on this web site under Newest Listings . These types of positions can give you experience which you would not otherwise get in your current job, and may add to or increase the skills you already have. You do not need to test or be on a list to get mobility assignments, and sometimes mobility assignments lead to permanent appointments if you are qualified.
Mobilities can be at the same level or a higher or lower level classification.
Both the hiring supervisor and manager and the sending supervisor or manager must approve a mobility. If the mobility assignment constitutes a promotion, the salary increase you are eligible to receive is a one-step increase or the first step of the new salary range, whichever is greater. If the assignment is to a transferable or lower class, there is no change in salary. Your seniority in your permanent classification will continue to accrue during a mobility assignment. No class seniority credit will be given for a mobility assignment in a different class.
