Each competing employee selected for release from his or her competitive level under this chapter shall be entitled to written notice at least thirty (30) full days before the effective date of the employee's release.
The notice required by subsection 2422.1 of this section shall not be issued until the administrative order provided for in subsection 2406.3(a) of this chapter, or any amendment to that order, has been approved by the appropriate personnel authority.
A notice shall not be issued less than thirty (30) days before the effective date of the employee's release.
In counting the thirty-day (30 day) minimum notice period, the day the employee receives the notice shall be omitted; and a notice period that ends on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday shall be automatically extended to the next workday.
An agency shall not retain an employee beyond the end of the notice period.
The notice to the employee shall specify the effective date of the employee's release from his or her competitive level.
A notice shall expire when followed by the action specified in the notice, or in an amendment made to the notice before the agency takes the action. Such amendment shall be permitted without extension of the notice period only when the action to be taken is less severe than the action in the original notice.
A reduction-in-force action shall not be taken before the effective date of a notice.
An employee shall be retained in an active duty status during the notice period, unless on leave pursuant to section 1203 of the CMPA (D.C. Official Code § 1-612.03 (2006 Repl.)).
Except as provided in subsection 2422.11 of this section, an employee who receives written notice of release from his or her competitive level due to a reduction in force shall be entitled to be retained in an active duty status during the notice period.
An employee who receives written notice of release from his or her competitive level due to reduction in force may be placed on administrative leave at the discretion of the agency head (or his or her designee).
