Which policy covers Appointments, Transfers and Separations?

• A. 1020
• B. 1080
• C. 1038.3
• D. 1091.2

Answer: (A)

This question is about which policy governs the lifecycle actions of hiring, moving internally, and exiting the agency. The policy that covers appointments, transfers, and separations is 1020. It lays out the procedures for initiating a hire, processing internal moves between positions or units, and handling separations such as resignations, retirement, or termination, including the required forms, approvals, and record-keeping.

It’s the best fit because it directly addresses all three actions in one place, ensuring consistent steps and documentation across the entire lifecycle. Other policies address different topics and do not consolidate these three specific actions. For example, when bringing someone onto the department, moving them to a new role or station, or processing their departure, 1020 provides the applicable steps and requirements.
