Alternation allows an Opting or Surplus employee to exchange positions with an unaffected employee who wishes to leave the core public administration and accept a TSM (Option B) or Education Allowance (Option C). The Alternation must occur within the 120-day opting period or 12-month surplus period under Option A. The date of Alternation must be specified, and employees must exchange positions on that same day.

If an unaffected employee alternates, they can only select Option B or C(i). If alternation is during Surplus A period, alternate’s TSM will be reduced by 1 week for each completed week between beginning of employee surplus period and date of alternation.

Please refer to section 6.3 Alternation of the WFAD.
