And I opened my trap without knowing what I was talking about so I could find out. Thanks for the info.
I learned many years ago to find out for myself what the real rules are, do yourself a favor and get familiar with Part III of Title 5 of the United States Code, many times HR and management get it wrong and if you know the rules you can avoid many of the unpleasantness that come with working in the Federal sector.
