340.403—Intermittent employment.
        
        (a) Appropriate use.
         An intermittent work schedule is appropriate only when the nature of the work is sporadic and unpredictable so that a tour of duty cannot be regularly scheduled in advance. When an agency is able to schedule work in advance on a regular basis, it has an obligation to document the change in work schedule from intermittent to part-time or full-time to ensure proper service credit.
    
    
        
        (b) Noncompetitive movement.
         Intermittent employees serving under career appointment may move to other positions in the same way as other regular career employees.
