90 Days Notice For Assignment Orders

[HELPDESK SUP]

Does anyone know what the implications of not receiving 90 days notice on an assignment order, when your preferences state that you do not wish to wave the 90 days? Can you appeal againt the move or at least insist on 90 days notice, when the best reason for not giving the required notice is that it was an over sight on the Career Managers part!

As far as I'm aware, it is an aspiration to give 90 days notice, but it some cases it doesn't happen for variety of reasons although 'an oversight' is a pretty p!ss poor excuse! You could always ask the Chf Clk to try & extend your assignment date by up to 28 days; he would need to speak to the receiving unit & come to some arrangement if possible.

Isn't there something about 56 days for service reasons, You might be able to insist on your 90 days but it may mean they post you somewhere else (ie reopen Macrahanish just for you) but give you your 90 days. Hopefully a helpful PSF clerk might be online (if there are any left).

If the Assignment Order was issued within 90 days of the effective date then there should be a comment on the Amplifying Notes to the effect that a 90 day waiver certificate is required.

However, if the AO is in conjunction with a promotion offer then your hands are tied - unless you wish to turn the promotion down.

As HS has said, there's always a 28 day waiver, as long as the gaining unit are Ok about it.

Do you want it

Do you want it

Do you want to go where you are being sent, is it that much of a hassle to go a bit early, is it on promotion. You have to weigh up all your options before you decide whether or not you are going to kick up a stink and get your Drafters back up.

Don't forget you could always be detached there for a couple of months prior to any posting dates so as HS says 90 days is an aspiration rather than a right. However if you could argue genuine hardship then things could probably be rearranged.

If it's an overriding Service requirement, you will have to bite the bullet. I had one given 45 days with no recourse.

As already mentioned I suppose it depends how much you want to go or not as to how much kicking and screaming you do.

One time my family and I moved across country into a new quarter within three weeks of being given notice of a posting.

I had 90 days for mine, but spent 63 of those days in Iraq and came back 2 weeks before postingDT_Xtremez_09:

I'd have been happier with 45 days notice all spent in the UK!

In your case it was a cock-up by the your career manager so you might want to have a chat with your management first. They may be able to make a case for keeping you on for a bit longer for "service reasons".
