Evening all,
I am a week away from leaving my permanent position and stepping out into the world of contracting. My current position requires SC level clearance but unfortunately the contract I have lined up does not.
On confirming my clearance, my current employer stated in a letter that it would last "for ten years or until termination of [my] employment with [them]". I have since read elsewhere however that clearance in general should be transferable within a year of leaving a job that requires it (unless it natuarally expired in that time, of course).
My question then is this - can my current employer terminate my clearance as soon as I step out of the door, or are they bound to keeping it valid for a year afterward?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
