Specialty unit vacancies are defined in which policy area?

Specialty unit vacancies are defined in which policy area?

• A. Article 19 'Assignment Pay'
• B. Article 28 'Transfers'
• C. Article 31 'Longevity'
• D. Article 27 'Comp Time'

Answer: (A)

Specialty unit vacancies are defined in the policy area that covers Assignment Pay. This area governs how vacancies in specialized units are described, how assignments to those units are made, and the pay associated with those assignments. Framing vacancies this way aligns with the purpose of Assignment Pay, which is about compensating and delineating roles for specific assignments. Transfers, Longevity, and Comp Time address different topics—moving personnel between units, service-based pay scales, and compensatory time off, respectively—so they don’t define specialty unit vacancies.
