Once the employee's escalator position is determined, other factors may allow, or require, the employer to reemploy the employee in a position other than the escalator position. These factors, which are explained in §§ 1002.196 through 1002.199, are:

1. (a) The length of the employee's most recent period of uniformed service;
2. (b) The employee's qualifications; and,
3. (c) Whether the employee has a disability incurred or aggravated during uniformed service.
