Wife found out today that the Schedule A fed position she was hired into (and has been doing for year) was misappropriated to her because she didn’t meet the certs on USA Jobs and her permanent position is now a temporary one that will end in 10 months…..I’m flabbergasted and disgusted by the hiring agency, any know of resources (legal or otherwise) for fed employees in the weird situation?

I feel so terrible for her, she’s wanted a fed job for so long and has absolutely busted her ass for and in it

Most fed HR is absolutely bottom of the barrel, so I'm not at all surprised they screwed up.

That said, now that she is a fed, she should be shotgunning applications out to other positions. She won't qualify for the ones that are open only to competitive service employees, but she should qualify for those open to excepted service, as well as the ones that are open to the public and Schedule A (presuming she does indeed meet the standard for Schedule A).

That's a question for TSA HR (btw, TSA as a whole is notorious for being an awful agency, and while I didn't work there, I did hear that their HR is even worse than the usual bottom feeders).

She still has some sort of a status, which will be reflected on her latest SF-50. If that SF-50 shows that she's in an excepted service position, she's free to apply to positions open to excepted service employees. If it shows that she's a term or temp employee, then I *think* she'd be restricted to only applying to jobs open to the public or ones open to Schedule A.

I was a HM at two civilian agencies and we didn't do temp or term hires, so I'm not sure off the top of my head what the regulations for them are.

Either way, she should go based on the status shown on her latest SF-50.
