participate in rotating temporary duty assignments to support
emergency programs at some time during their careers with APHIS.It
is difficult to predict the frequency with which such emergency
situations may occur - and could range from several emergencies in a
year to none over the course of many years.In the event that you
are called upon to support an emergency program, this may require
irregular working hours, including overtime, and may include duties
other than those specified in your official position description.
While some emergency program support assignments may be able to be
performed at the employee's current duty station, in other cases
employees may be asked to go on-site to a temporary duty station
location.In addition, it may be necessary for employees to
participate in multiple rotations to an emergency program
assignment.Attempts will be made to keep disruption to the
employee to a minimum.
