Supervision becomes progressively less detailed as incumbent gains more experience. Incumbent may be eligible for non-competitive ACDP basic pay increases within a six month period, within the target broadband level or non-competitive promotion to the higher broadband level upon meeting the following requirements: (1) Incumbent completes all required training and conditions of employment; 2) successfully met the benchmark and objective requirements for developmental activities, accomplishment of higher level work, and contribution expectations; and 3) results as well as quality of performance determined by the supervisor. Therefore, ACDP basic pay increase or non-competitive promotion to the higher broadband level is not guaranteed.
