10、 of NASA Excepted (NEX) appointments at salary levels equivalent to the GS-14 level or higher (including establishment or extension of SES-equivalent NASA Excepted appointments). P.2 APPLICABILITY This MPR applies to the personnel, programs, projects, and activities at Marshall Space Flight Center (
11、MSFC) and MSFCs Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF), including contractors and resident agencies to the extent specified in their respective contracts or agreements.

17、gy 1.1.2 MSFC Marshall Space Flight Center 1.1.3 OPM U.S. Office of Personnel Management 1.2 Definitions 1.2.1 Accretion of Duties Promotion An accretion of duties promotion is the promotion of an employee to a higher grade-level through noncompetitive management action. Accretion of duties promotio
18、ns are based upon the assignment of additional higher level duties and responsibilities that result in reclassification of an employees position to a higher grade. 1.2.2 Career Ladder Promotions A series of progressively-responsible positions where the full performance grade level is higher than the
19、 grade level where the employee entered. Employees normally enter a career ladder competitively and then are noncompetitively promoted through the career ladder. Promotions within a career ladder are based upon satisfactory completion of assignments and demonstrated ability to perform higher level w
20、ork. 1.2.3 High Grade Position For purposes of this MPR, a high grade position is defined as a General Schedule position at the GS-14 or GS-15 level. 1.2.4 Person-In-The-Job Promotion A person-in-the-job promotion is an accretion of duties promotion that results when special knowledge, skills, abili
21、ties, talents or achievements of an individual have an important effect on the duties, responsibilities, and expectations of the job held. The impact of the person on the job is reflected in the classification of a position when the performance of a particular individual actually makes the job mater
22、ially different from what it would otherwise be. The mere fact that an individual in a position possesses higher qualifications or stands out from other individuals in comparable positions is not sufficient reason by itself, to classify the position at a higher grade. Person-in-the-job positions typ
23、ically revert to their original classification when vacated. 1.2.5 Position Management Position management is the ongoing management action of structuring positions within line and staff organizations in a manner that optimizes economy, productivity and organizational effectiveness.

40、 BEFORE USE 3.1 Establishment of High Grade Positions 3.1.1 The Human Resources Services Office shall issue a call letter addressed to the head of each basic organization at the Center prior to each scheduled meeting of the Committee. As a general rule, approval by the Committee is required in order
41、 to establish new high grade positions. However, approval by the Committee is not required to: (1) effect a career ladder promotion, (i.e., a non-competitive promotion when, at an earlier stage, an employee competed to fill a position with recognized promotion potential to a higher grade); (2) fill
42、a high grade position contained in an organizations approved staffing plan; or (3) effect a temporary promotion to a high grade position. 3.1.2 In response to the call letter described above, organizations (directorates and offices) shall submit to the Human Resources Services Office requests to: (1
43、) create new high grade positions; (2) rewrite existing positions to reflect significant changes in duties and responsibilities; (3) convert temporary promotions to permanent promotions without competition; (4) establish career ladder positions with recognized promotion potential to either the GS-14
44、 or GS-15 level; or (5) non-competitively promote individuals to positions at the GS-14 or GS-15 level based on accretion of duties (including promotions resulting from the impact of the person-on-the-job). 3.1.3 A request to establish a new high grade position, establish a career ladder position wi
45、th promotion potential to the GS-14 or 15 level, upgrade a vacant position to either a GS-14 or GS- 15 level, or rewrite an existing high grade position to reflect significant changes in duties and responsibilities containing the information listed in Appendix A shall be submitted to Human Resources
46、 Services Office on or before the deadline announced for the meeting. As appropriate, the Committee may ask for a representative of the organization to appear before the Committee in order to explain the reasoning behind such a request. 3.1.4 A request to promote an employee to a high grade position based on accretion of duties (including promotions resulting from impact of the person-on-the-job) shall contain the information described in Appendix B. 3.1.5 The Human Re
