As a temporary employee, you are serving on a time limited appointment. This means that your civil service appointment continues until a date that is specified in your appointment and in your offer letter. Typically, temporary appointments last for one year or less. A temporary employee does not serve a probationary period and is not eligible for promotion, reassignment, or transfer to other jobs. However, qualifying experience gained while employed in a temporary position is considered when applying later for a permanent position.

Your appointment expiration date is indicated on your SF-50 notice of personnel action that documents your appointment.

As a temporary employee, you have very limited rights and benefits. For additional information, visit USAJOBS.
