Any of 28 of the Level-3 employees for position A.


Any of 18 of the Level-2 employees for position B.


Any of 18-1 = 17 of the remaining of the Level-2 employees for position C.


Any of  7 of the Level-3 employees for position D.


In all, it gives  28*18*17*7 = 59976 different ways to fill the positions.
