Waldorf, Md.: I've heard that the government has to either give you the promotion for the job your doing if its more than ninety day or return you to the positions you've been hired for. Is there any guidelines or informations that can help me addresss this concern.

Stephen Barr: Tough question. Congress gave TSA permission to create its own personnel rules, and TSA will be exempt from the new DHS personnel system. Your best option is to do some research at this OPM website (www.opm.gov/classapp/index.asp)and see if you can find material that addresses your circumstances. If that doesn't work, you may want to check with a lawyer who has experience in federal employment procedures. Best of luck!
