A federal employee conversion occurs whenever an individual changes from one personnel status or service to another without a break in federal government service of more than 3 days. This report focuses on conversions of individuals from noncareer to career positions. Federal agencies must use appropriate authorities and follow proper procedures in making these conversions. GAO was asked to determine for departments and selected agencies (1) the number and characteristics of all noncareer to career conversions occurring during the period from May 1, 2001, through April 30, 2005, and (2) whether appropriate authorities were used and proper procedures were followed in making these conversions at the GS-12 level and above. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-381/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-381.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-381/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-381.pdf GAO-06-381 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-381 Other Written Product GAO-06-381; Personnel Practices: Conversions of Employees from Noncareer to Career Positions May 2001 - April 2005; Data collection Federal agencies Federal employees GS grade classification Personnel management Personnel qualifications Title 5 Section 3393 5 U.S.C. 3393 Title 28 Section 536 28 U.S.C. 536
