Certain location-based pay entitlements (such as locality payments, special rate supplements, and nonforeign area cost-of-living allowances) are based on the location of the employee's official worksite associated with the employee's position of record. The official worksite generally is the location where the employee regularly performs his/her duties.
An agency must determine and designate the official worksite for a teleworking employee on a case-by-case basis using the following criteria:
In certain temporary situations, an agency may designate the location of the regular worksite as the official worksite of an employee who teleworks on a regular basis at an alternative worksite, even though the employee is not able to report at least twice each bi-weekly pay period on a regular and recurring basis to the regular worksite.
For more information on official worksite, please see OPM's Fact Sheet on Official Worksite for Location-Based Pay Purposes. (external link)
Typically, the same premium pay rules apply to employees who telework as to those employees who report to their regular worksites.
Night pay is a 10 percent differential paid to employees for regularly scheduled work performed at night. It is computed as a percentage of the employee's rate of basic pay (including any applicable locality payment or special rate supplement). A teleworker may not earn night pay by choosing to work at night. Night pay is paid for regularly scheduled work performed at night. This generally means work scheduled before the beginning of the administrative workweek. However, night pay is also paid for night work on a temporary assignment to a different daily tour of duty during the administrative work week.
For more information on night pay, please see OPM's Fact Sheet on Night Pay for General Schedule Employees (external link) .
An employee is entitled to 25 percent of his/her rate of basic pay for work performed during a regularly scheduled basic 8-hour tour of duty that begins or ends on a Sunday (emphasis added). A teleworker must be regularly scheduled to work on a Sunday in order for that employee to be eligible for the 25 percent Sunday premium pay.
For more information, see OPM's Fact Sheet on Sunday Premium Pay (external link) .
Evacuation payments are made to employees or their dependents, or both, who are ordered to be evacuated from or within the United States and certain non-foreign areas in the national interest because of natural disasters or for military or other reasons that create imminent danger to the lives of the employees, their immediate family, or their dependents. The applicable non-foreign areas are listed in the definition of "United States area" in 5 CFR 550.402. Evacuation payments may be made to dependents 16 years of age or older, or to designated representatives, only with prior written authorization from the employee.
When an employee has been ordered to evacuate, agency heads may make advance payments of pay, allowances, and differentials to cover a time period of up to 30 calendar days, provided the agency head or designated official determines the payment is required to defray immediate expenses incidental to the evacuation. The initial evacuation payment may cover up to 60 days of pay, allowances, and differentials, including the period covered by the advance payment.
Evacuation payments may be made to cover a total of up to 180 calendar days (including the number of days for which payment has already been made) when employees continue to be prevented from performing their duties by an evacuation order. When feasible, evacuation payments must be paid on the employee's regular pay days.
Employees in an Executive agency may also receive additional allowance payments for travel expenses and subsistence expenses (e.g., per diem) to offset added expenses they incur as a result of their evacuation or the evacuation of their dependents. (See 5 CFR 550.405.)
For more information on evacuation payments, please see OPM's Fact Sheet on Evacuation Pay (external link)
An employee must follow his/her agency's telework policy for requesting leave and work scheduling changes when teleworking.
Just as an employee would do when he/she is at the regular worksite, an employee who is teleworking may request leave for a portion of the day. Agencies may also allow an employee to adjust his/her work schedule during a telework day (e.g., to attend a medical appointment or deal with a household repair) based on the employee's telework agreement. Both leave and work scheduling flexibilities are not only to assist the employee in balancing his/her personal needs, but also to maintain productivity by allowing the employee to request to work around disruption in his/her work day. For additional information, please visit OPM's Leave Administration (external link) & OPM's Work Schedules (external link) .
(a) Definition. In this section, detail means the temporary assignment of an SES member to another position (within or outside of the SES) or the temporary assignment of a non-SES member to an SES position, with the expectation that the employee will return to the official position of record upon expiration of the detail . For purposes of pay and benefits, the employee continues to encumber the position from which detailed . The provisions of this section cover details within or outside of the employing agency .
(b) Time limits.
(1) Details within an executive agency or military department must be made in no more than 120-day increments.
(2) An agency may not detail an SES employee to unclassified duties for more than 240 days .
(3) An agency must use competitive procedures when detailing a non-SES employee to an SES position for more than 240 days unless the employee is eligible for a noncompetitive career SES appointment.
(4) An agency must obtain OPM approval for a detail of more than 240 days if the detail is of:
(i) A non-SES employee to an SES position that supervises other SES positions; or
(ii) An SES employee to a position at the GS-15 or equivalent level or below.
(c) SES career reserved positions. Only a career SES appointee or a career-type non-SES appointee may be detailed to a career reserved position.
(d) SES general positions. Any SES appointee or non-SES appointee may be detailed to a general position.

Rotational Opportunities
Rotational opportunities are assignments often used to allow Fellows to gain a broader perspective of the Federal Government. These opportunities can take you to another bureau, division, office, or program within your agency, or even to another Federal agency. By participating in rotational opportunities, you can gain management experience, work in specific occupational fields, or learn about a program function from another perspective.
You are required to do at least one developmental assignment of 4-6 months in duration in the occupation or functional discipline in which you will most likely be placed, with full-time management and/or technical responsibilities consistent with your IDP (Individual Development Plan). A developmental assignment is a rotational opportunity, but not all rotational opportunities meet the criteria of the required developmental assignment. Please remember that you must complete at least one developmental assignment, meeting the above criteria, as part of the program requirements. Developmental assignments may or may not be continuous over the 4-6 months, but must be with the same hosting organization and scope of work.
NOTE: Per the program regulations and guidance, the developmental assignment can only take place within your organization, agency, or another Federal agency (5 CFR 362.405(b)(4)(ii)); Federal agency is basically defined as those agencies within the Executive Branch and those agencies who participate in the PMF Program in the Legislative Branch. An agency does NOT need to formally participate in the PMF Program to host a PMF on a rotation.
The PMF regulations specify that in addition to the developmental assignment, you may receive other short-term rotations of 1 to 6 months in duration, at your appointing agency's discretion, to occupations or functional areas different from the one in which you will most likely be placed. Rotations and developmental assignments are grouped together as Rotational Opportunities when advertised for Fellows.
Because the agency and supervisor will be without your services during the rotational opportunity, but are still paying your salary and benefits, there may be times when the agency will deny or adjust your request regarding these opportunities. Some Fellows outside of the Washington, DC, metro area, may need to work with their agency or the hosting agency to determine who will cover any expenses (e.g., travel, per diem, attending training or conferences on behalf of the hosting agency, etc.). A Fellow having a change in temporary duty station would typically need to be on travel orders. Such Fellows should consult with their Supervisor, Agency PMF Coordinator, and the hosting agency's Agency PMF Coordinator. In addition, Fellows outside of the metro area may want to contact the Federal Executive Board (FEB) covering their region to see if it can assist with rotational opportunities at other agencies within the region. To identify FEBs and their regions, go to https://www.feb.gov .
Rotational opportunities are at the discretion of your home agency, including any outside of your organization. Agencies may restrict such rotations within their agency. You are required to go through agency-specific procedures before pursuing them. More specifically, it is your responsibility to initiate the approval process, if required by the agency, before making contacts or agreements to go on rotational opportunities.
Some hosting agencies require a security clearance for the rotation. If a Fellow does not posses the needed security clearance, the hosting agency may cover any such costs associated and/or may be able to provide an interim clearance; this is solely at the hosting agency's discretion. Typically a Fellow's employing agency would not cover such costs and Fellows are not able to initiate or covers such costs themselves.
The PMF Program Office has developed a sample Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) template that Fellows and agencies may use. An MOU outlines the roles and responsibilities of all parties. The template is available under the Current PMFs\Resources webpage. This sample PMF MOU may be used when performing a rotational opportunity at an agency other than your agency. This form should be tailored to meet the needs of the specific assignment. You should consult with your supervisor and/or Agency PMF Coordinator for assistance and follow your agency's policies and procedures.
While some rotational opportunities are arranged by your agency, many Fellows take the initiative to identify opportunities they are particularly interested in. If an agency concludes that an optional short-term rotational opportunity to a non-Federal entity, or outside the Executive Branch, is appropriate to assist you to reach core competencies necessary for conversion to the target position at the end of your fellowship, it is the responsibility of the agency to address potential legal and ethical issues associated with such a rotation.
The frequency and duration of rotational opportunities during a Fellow's two-year fellowship may vary greatly from agency to agency. You are encouraged to be flexible and to have reasonable expectations regarding the agency's support for the location, timing, and duration of a rotational opportunity. In general, a PMF would not be detailed to a position for which he/she is not qualified. For example, a PMF at the GS-11 level should be detailed to a position that provides work at the GS-11 level. A PMF could only do a rotation with work at a higher grade level if the PMF meets the qualification requirements for the higher grade level. There is no prohibition of detailing a PMF in a position with a full performance level of a GS-13 to a rotational position with a full performance level of a GS-14 if the PMF is given work at the appropriate grade level.
When appropriate, a Fellow may participate in a rotational opportunity in Congress; however, such opportunity must be with a congressional committee, which would prevent any potential conflict of interest and be bipartisan. Fellows should consult with their supervisor, Agency PMF Coordinator, and perhaps their General Counsel or Ethics Officer, for any agency-specific policies and procedures for such rotations.
The Intergovernmental Personnel Act Mobility Program provides for the temporary assignment of personnel between the Federal Government and state and local governments, colleges and universities, Indian tribal governments, federally funded research and development centers, and other eligible organizations. This may apply to the optional short-term rotations, not the required developmental assignment. Check with your Agency PMF Coordinator or HR Office for specific policies and procedures at your agency.
While on a rotational opportunity, you remain employed by your agency and are not to be separated from Federal service. While on the rotational opportunity, your salary and benefits continues to be paid by the appointing agency, although housing, transportation, training, or other expenses are sometimes paid by the agency hosting the Fellow for this period of time. Agencies that permit a Fellow to perform a rotational opportunity outside of the agency are encouraged to have an MOU with the hosting agency in place before the rotational opportunity begins. Some hosting agencies may be willing and able to cover the Fellow's salary, expenses, any travel costs, costs for a security clearance, etc., from their employing agency; this is commonly referred to as a "reimbursable detail" and would be negotiated between your employing and hosting agencies.
As long as the agency does not have specific policies or procedures stating otherwise, there is no order for completing the developmental assignment and/or optional rotations; some agencies may require more than one. Fellows should manage their time and workload, while in consultation with their supervisor, on when to complete their required developmental assignment and optional rotations (e.g., make adjustments based on leave (vacation, maternity, paternity, etc.), training and developmental activities, mission-critical projects, etc.). Extending the fellowship is typically not a reason for a Fellow to meet their program requirements.
If the rotation needs to be extended, the Fellow should consult with their supervisor and Agency PMF Coordinator to check their agency's policies and procedures for any such extension.
You should record any rotational opportunities on your IDP, especially the required developmental assignment.
If a Fellow reappoints (e.g., transfers from one PMF position/agency to another) during their fellowship, any training and development may be forfeited if not related to the newer position or newer target position. If the reappointment is a result of a Fellow who was on their developmental assignment, he/she may need to complete a newer development assignment since the reappointment will be a new position or a new target position. See FAQ# 12 for information on reappointments.
For those Fellows enrolled in the PMF LDP ( Leadership Development Program ), please account for your participation for any impact. For example, all PMF LDP communications are sent to the Fellow's work and personal email addresses. We are unable to manage multiple work email addresses in such scenarios. For example, to add and monitor a temporary work email address for a Fellow on a rotation. The Fellow may temporarily change their personal email address to their rotation email address, but would also need to remember to change the rotation email address when no longer applicable. Fellows on a rotation should be able to still access and monitor their employing agency email address.
List of Rotational Opportunities
The PMF Program Office has automated the process for hosting organizations to post rotational opportunities in the PMF TMS for current Fellows to search. All current Fellows can log into the PMF TMS, via their applicant user account, and search for opportunities. If the Fellow has opted-in to receive automated emails from the PMF TMS, he/she will receive an automated digest email the day after a rotational opportunity is posted live.
Rotational opportunities are strictly for current Fellows. All Agency PMF Coordinators have access to post rotational opportunities and may grant "Agency HR Staff" user access to other agency personnel to post opportunities as well.

Office of Personnel Management.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final regulations on a plain language rewrite of its regulations regarding the Intergovernmental Personnel Act Mobility Program as part of a broader review of OPM regulations. The purpose of the revision is to make the regulations more readable.
October 18, 2006.
Darlene Phelps by telephone on 202-606-0960, by FAX on 202-606-2329, by TDD on 202-418-3134, or by e-mail at [email protected] .
OPM published for comment on August 22, 2003, (at 68 FR 50726 ) proposed regulations revising part 334 of title 5, Code of Federal Regulations , to make it more readable. The principal purpose of that proposed revision was to clarify the regulations. OPM also solicited comments on whether certain non-Federal entities define themselves as: (1) An “instrumentality or authority of a State or States or local government” as cited in 5 U.S.C. 3371 ; or (2) a “Federal-State authority or instrumentality” as cited in 5 U.S.C. 3371 .
Two agencies submitted comments on OPM's proposed part 334 regulations. Both agencies believed that the question and answer format in the proposed regulations required the reader to spend more, rather than less time, to locate information in part 334. After consideration of the agencies' comments, OPM dropped the question and answer format in this final redraft of part 334.
One agency suggested we rename the title of this part by including a reference to the Intergovernmental Personnel Act. We agree the current title does not accurately describe the nature of assignments under this part, so we have renamed part 334 as “Temporary Assignments under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA)”.
The other agency suggested OPM provide definitions of the terms listed in § 334.102 rather than offer readers the statutory citations where these terms are defined. We agree having the definitions in the regulation improves the readability of part 334, so we have added the definitions along with their statutory citations in § 334.102.
The other agency asked that OPM clarify whether the definition of “Institution of higher education” includes graduate level programs. OPM agrees clarification is necessary and we have revised the definition in § 334.102 to include longstanding OPM policy that this definition includes both undergraduate and graduate study.
The same agency also asked that OPM set a specific time period for maintaining copies of each written agreement that documents the obligations and responsibilities of each party to an IPA assignment. OPM believes that each agency should have the flexibility to best determine the appropriate time period for retaining copies of its written agreements under this part. We have modernized the final regulations, in § 334.106(b), to allow agencies the flexibility for establishing the time period for retaining copies of its written agreements under the IPA program.
The second agency asked that OPM clarify the IPA participation restriction in § 334.104(c) that a Federal agency may not send or receive an individual on an IPA assignment for more than four continuous years without at least a 12-month return to duty back to the organization where the individual was employed before the IPA assignment. OPM believes that the present language in § 334.104(c) sufficiently states OPM's intention that an individual may not participate on an assignment under this part for more than four continuous years without a minimum 12-month return to duty back to the individual's pre-assignment employing organization.
The same agency also asked OPM to include a statement in § 334.102(c) clarifying that “successive assignments with a break of no more than 60 calendar days will be regarded as continuous service” per guidance on OPM's Web site. For the convenience of the reader we have added the statement pertaining to successive assignments of at least 60 calendar days to § 334.102(c), which is consistent with longstanding OPM policy.
This rule has been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget in accordance with E.O. 12866 .
I certify that these regulations would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because they would apply only to Federal agencies and employees.
U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
Linda M. Springer,
Accordingly, OPM is revising 5 CFR part 334 to read as follows:

Temporary reassignments are known to most government employees as details. For the most part, details are seen as an opportunity to meet workforce needs of the agency and a developmental opportunity for employees for hands-on work experience.
