How long can an agency retain an employee who is leaving to another agency for a promotion?

I have been promoted to a position with another agency. My current agency is trying to retain me – what are the rules governing how long my current agency can keep me here?

If it is for a lateral position within the same branch then they can hold you for up to thirty days. I went from Navy to Army for a lateral position but it was only two weeks. If it is a promotion within the same branch then they can hold you for two weeks and generally till the end of a pay period after the two weeks.
