A department is trying to contact re-employment eligible employees by telephone. How long must prospective employees be given to respond?

Although this method of contacting re-employment eligible employees is not recommended, departments must allow two (2) full work days following the date of contact.  If the re-employment eligibles do not respond, departments must document that using a CDC1237 “Waiver” form.  For HQ and DAPO programs to obtain approval to use the phone contact process for re-employment eligible employees, they must obtain the approval of the Chief of the Office Workforce Planning and Selection.
