This has resulted in an increasing number of employees remaining overseas today. The DOD rotation was the solution. It is designed to facilitate overseas recruiting and promote the efficiency of worldwide operations. Ultimately, this benefits everyone in the DOD community. Although most employees over the five-year mark have guaranteed job placement when they return stateside, some civilians do have reason for concern.
Most employees have permanent job appointments.
They return to a job where they were located prior to accepting the overseas assignment. Permanent employees who don't have return rights can register in the Priority Placement Program. These employees normally remain overseas until a suitable job is available.
