The Secretary must place certain Foreign Service employees into the correct class on the Foreign Service pay schedule. Within 120 days after February 15, 1981, people who were serving before that date under older appointment classes must be converted if they are Foreign Service officers; Foreign Service Reserve officers (limited or unlimited tenure); or Foreign Service staff officers or employees whom the Secretary finds available for worldwide assignment. Within 3 years after February 15, 1981, Reserve officers and staff who are not available worldwide may be converted too, but only if the Secretary certifies a need for them and they agree in writing to accept worldwide assignment as a condition of continued employment.
