Each personnel authority shall determine the positions which comprise the competitive level in which employees shall compete with each other for retention.
Assignment to a competitive level shall be based upon the employee's position of record.
An employee's position of record is the position for which the employee receives pay or the position from which the employee has been temporarily reassigned or promoted on a temporary or term basis.
A competitive level shall consist of all positions in the competitive area identified pursuant to section 2409 of this chapter in the same grade (or occupational level), and classification series and which are sufficiently alike in qualification requirements, duties, responsibilities, and working conditions so that the incumbent of one (1) position could successfully perform the duties and responsibilities of any of the other positions, without any loss of productivity beyond that normally expected in the orientation of any new but fully qualified employee.
The composition of a competitive level shall be determined on similarity of the qualification requirements, including selective factors, to perform the major duties of the position successfully, the title and series of the positions, and other factors prescribed in this section and section 2411 of this chapter.
