Developmental Assignment - Extend

Summary

The duration of a developmental assignment (DA) is more than 90 calendar days but less than 12 months. An extension of 12 months may be granted by the releasing manager or his/her designee. However, the maximum duration of a DA is 24 months.

This checklist applies to:

  • DA within HQ and CO
  • DA transitioned to GMSF
  • DA initiated after January 1, 2016

Attention:

  • For old DA (from HQ to CO, CO to CO, CO to HQ) initiated prior to January 1, 2016 and has not been transitioned to GMSF, the system will display an error message when the manager or designee tries to extend via .
  • Instruct your HR Business Partner (HRBP) to email the GMSF Assignment Request template (access limited to HRBPs only) and write to HR Operations with a cc to Global Mobility, with the subject line "UPI ___, GMSF Assignment".
  • Once the old DA (from HQ to CO, CO to CO, CO to HQ) is transitioned to GMSF DA, the manager or designee can extend the DA via  following the actions below.

For details on policy, refer to section 01 on . For important considerations relating to G4 visa holders, refer to Absence from the U.S.
