Continuation of Additional Information section:
If you are a current career or career-conditional Federal employee who has a designated place of residence in the lower 48 continental United States or the District of Columbia (CONUS): The initial tour of duty in Hawaii is for 3 years. An employee may elect to serve an additional 2-year tour with the approval of the PIA Director. At the completion of the tour(s), the employee has guaranteed return rights to a position of grade and pay equivalent to the employee's current position, whether or not such position is the product of one or more competitive promotions earned during the tour or tours. Guaranteed return rights are forfeited once management accepts an employee's request to extend his/her tour beyond the 5-year period. From this point on, if an employee decides to transfer back to the CONUS, the employee is responsible for locating a position through normal merit promotion procedures
