There are temp promotions (ie when you are acting at a higher grade) and there are NTE promotions (where they are not to exceed a certain time frame). The NTE's are generally 1 to 3 years and then you revert back to your lower grade. The "acting" promotions can only last a short period of time before the agency gets itself into a bind.....

In DH's case, he has been, and will be for the foreseeable future, acting for supervisor.

And he gets a pay promotion for that? Seems like nothing more than a title promotion.

Why? He's one GS level and his supervisor is another one. He's gone from being a regular team member to acting for a division director. It's more than just a title promotion.

Where I work you do not get a pay promotion when Acting. I thought that was the case across the govt.

No, this is not true. My sister got one as a 13 acting for a 15. I know others who have gotten temp promotions when acting too.

Isn't it only up to 120 days?

What is a temporary promotion in the feds? Is it only for a year, like a term appointment?

you find the step that matches or exceeds your current salary and count two steps up from that (in the new grade level).

If he is a GS 7 step 5, and gets the next grade level (let's say it's a GS9 in his series), then you find the step in GS 9 that is closest to his current salary without being under it, and count up two steps. http://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/pay-administration/fact-sheets/promotions/

DH is going to get a temporary promotion. He currently is a step 5 in his GS level- step 1 in the next GS level up is still more than what he makes now. Is that the step he'd go to?
