Sec. 5303. Annual adjustments to pay schedules

-STATUTE-

(a) Effective as of the first day of the first applicable pay

period beginning on or after January 1 of each calendar year, the

rates of basic pay for each statutory pay system shall be increased

by the percentage (rounded to the nearest one-tenth of 1 percent)

equal to one-half of 1 percentage point less than the percentage by

which the ECI for the base quarter of the year before the preceding

calendar year exceeds the ECI for the base quarter of the second

year before the preceding calendar year (if at all).

(b)(1) If, because of national emergency or serious economic

conditions affecting the general welfare, the President should

consider the pay adjustment which would otherwise be required by

subsection (a) in any year to be inappropriate, the President shall

-

(A) prepare and transmit to Congress before September 1 of the

preceding calendar year a plan for such alternative pay

adjustments as he considers appropriate, together with the

reasons therefor; and

(B) adjust the rates of pay of each statutory pay system, in

accordance with such plan, effective on the same day as the

increase under subsection (a) would otherwise take effect.

(2) In evaluating an economic condition affecting the general

welfare under this subsection, the President shall consider

pertinent economic measures including, but not limited to, the

Indexes of Leading Economic Indicators, the Gross National Product,

the unemployment rate, the budget deficit, the Consumer Price

Index, the Producer Price Index, the Employment Cost Index, and the

Implicit Price Deflator for Personal Consumption Expenditures.

(3) The President shall include in the report to Congress under

paragraph (1)(A) his assessment of the impact that the alternative

pay adjustments under this subsection will have on the Government's

ability to recruit and retain well-qualified employees.

(c) The rates of basic pay that take effect under this section -

(1) shall modify, supersede, or render inapplicable, as the

case may be, to the extent inconsistent therewith, any prior

rates of basic pay under the statutory pay system involved (as

last adjusted under this section or prior provisions of law); and

(2) shall be printed in the Federal Register and the Code of

Federal Regulations.

(d) An increase in rates of basic pay that takes effect under

this section is not an equivalent increase in pay within the

meaning of section 5335.

(e) This section does not impair any authority pursuant to which

rates of basic pay may be fixed by administrative action.

(f) Pay may not be paid, by reason of any provision of this

section (disregarding any comparability payment payable), at a rate

in excess of the rate of basic pay payable for level V of the

Executive Schedule.

(g) Any rate of pay under this section shall be initially

adjusted, effective on the effective date of the rate of pay, under

conversion rules prescribed by the President or by such agency or

agencies as the President may designate.

Sec. 5304. Locality-based comparability payments

-STATUTE-

(a) Pay disparities shall be identified and reduced as follows:

(1) Comparability payments shall be payable within each

locality determined to have a pay disparity greater than 5

percent.

(2)(A) The localities having pay disparities, and the size of

those disparities, shall, for purposes of any comparability

payment scheduled to take effect in any calendar year, be

determined in accordance with the appropriate report, as prepared

and submitted to the President under subsection (d)(1) for

purposes of such calendar year.

(B) Any computation necessary to determine the size of the

comparability payment to become payable for any locality in a

year (as well as any determination as to the size of any pay

disparity remaining after that comparability payment is made)

shall likewise be made using data contained in the appropriate

report (described in subparagraph (A)) so prepared and submitted

for purposes of such calendar year.

(3) Subject to paragraph (4), the amount of the comparability

payments payable under this subsection in a calendar year within

any locality in which a comparability payment is payable shall be

computed using such percentage as the President determines for

such locality under subsection (d)(2), except that -

(A) the percentage for the first calendar year in which any

amounts are payable under this section may not be less than 1/5

of the amount needed to reduce the pay disparity of the

locality involved to 5 percent;

(B) the percentage for the second calendar year in which any

amounts are payable under this section may not be less than

3/10 of the amount needed to reduce the pay disparity of the

locality involved to 5 percent;

(C) the percentage for the third calendar year in which any

amounts are payable under this section may not be less than 2/5

of the amount needed to reduce the pay disparity of the

locality involved to 5 percent;

(D) the percentage for the fourth calendar year in which any

amounts are payable under this section may not be less than 1/2

of the amount needed to reduce the pay disparity of the

locality involved to 5 percent;

(E) the percentage for the fifth calendar year in which any

amounts are payable under this section may not be less than 3/5

of the amount needed to reduce the pay disparity of the

locality involved to 5 percent;

(F) the percentage for the sixth calendar year in which any

amounts are payable under this section may not be less than

7/10 of the amount needed to reduce the pay disparity of the

locality involved to 5 percent;

(G) the percentage for the seventh calendar year in which any

amounts are payable under this section may not be less than 4/5

of the amount needed to reduce the pay disparity of the

locality involved to 5 percent;

(H) the percentage for the eighth calendar year in which any

amounts are payable under this section may not be less than

9/10 of the amount needed to reduce the pay disparity of the

locality involved to 5 percent; and

(I) the percentage for the ninth calendar year in which any

amounts are payable under this section, and any year

thereafter, may not be less than the full amount necessary to

reduce the pay disparity of the locality involved to 5 percent.

(4) Nothing in this section shall be considered to preclude the

President, in his discretion, from adjusting comparability

payments to a level higher than the minimum level otherwise

required in a calendar year, including to the level necessary to

eliminate a locality's pay disparity completely.

(b) After the ninth calendar year (referred to in subsection

(a)(3)(I)), the level of comparability payments payable within such

locality may be reduced for any subsequent calendar year, but only

if, or to the extent that, the reduction would not immediately

create another pay disparity in excess of 5 percent within the

locality (taking into consideration any comparability payments

remaining payable).

(c)(1) The amount of the comparability payment payable within any

particular locality during a calendar year -

(A) shall be stated as a single percentage, which shall be

uniformly applicable to General Schedule positions within the

locality; and

(B) shall, for any employee entitled to receive a comparability

payment, be computed by applying that percentage to such

employee's scheduled rate of basic pay (or, if lower due to a

limitation on the rate payable, the rate actually payable),

subject to subsection (g).

(2) A comparability payment -

(A) shall be considered to be part of basic pay for purposes of

retirement under chapter 83 or 84, as applicable, life insurance

under chapter 87, and premium pay under subchapter V of chapter

55, and for such other purposes as may be expressly provided for

by law or as the Office of Personnel Management may by regulation

prescribe; and

(B) shall be paid in the same manner and at the same time as

the basic pay payable to such employee pursuant to any provision

of law outside of this section.

(3) Nothing in this subchapter shall be considered to permit or

require that any portion of a comparability payment be taken into

account for purposes of any adjustment under section 5303.

(4)(A) Only employees receiving scheduled rates of basic pay

(subject to any pay limitation which may apply) shall be eligible

for comparability payments under this section.

(B) Comparability payments shall not be payable for service

performed in any position which may not, under subsection

(f)(1)(A), be included within a pay locality.

(d) In order to carry out this section, the President shall -

(1) direct such agent as he considers appropriate to prepare

and submit to him annually, after considering such views and

recommendations as may be submitted under subsection (e) (but not

later than 13 months before the start of the calendar year for

purposes of which it is prepared), a report that -

(A) compares the rates of pay under the General Schedule

(disregarding any described in section 5302(8)(C)) (FOOTNOTE 1)

with the rates of pay generally paid to non-Federal workers for

the same levels of work within each pay locality, as determined

on the basis of appropriate surveys that shall be conducted by

the Bureau of Labor Statistics;

(FOOTNOTE 1) See References in Text note below.

(B) based on data from such surveys, identifies each locality

in which a pay disparity exists and specifies the size of each

such pay disparity (before and after taking into consideration

any comparability payments payable);

(C) makes recommendations for appropriate comparability

payments, in conformance with applicable requirements of this

section; and

(D) includes the views and recommendations submitted under

subsection (e);

(2) after considering the report of his agent (including the

views and recommendations referred to in subsection (e)(2)(C),

provide for or adjust comparability payments in conformance with

applicable requirements of this section, effective as of the

beginning of the first applicable pay period commencing on or

after January 1 of the applicable year; and

(3) transmit to Congress a report of the actions taken under

paragraph (2) (together with a copy of the report submitted to

him by his agent, including the views and recommendations

referred to in subsection (e)(2)(C)) which shall -

(A) identify each pay locality;

(B) specify which localities have pay disparities in excess

of 5 percent, and the size of the disparity existing in each of

those localities, according to the pay agent's most recent

report under paragraph (1) (before and after taking into

consideration any comparability payments payable); and

(C) indicate the size of the respective comparability

payments (expressed as percentages) which will be in effect

under paragraph (2) for the various pay localities specified

under subparagraph (B) for the applicable calendar year.

(e)(1) The President shall establish a Federal Salary Council of

9 members, of whom -

(A) 3 shall be chosen from among persons generally recognized

for their impartiality, knowledge, and experience in the field of

labor relations and pay policy; and

(B) 6 shall be representatives of employee organizations which

represent substantial numbers of employees holding General

Schedule positions, and who shall be selected giving due

consideration to such factors as the relative numbers of

employees represented by the various organizations, except that

not more than 3 members of the Council at any one time shall be

from a single employee organization, council, federation,

alliance, association, or affiliation of employee organizations.

Members of the Council shall not receive pay by reason of their

service on the Council, nor shall members who are not otherwise

employees of the United States be considered employees by reason of

any such service. However, members under subparagraph (A) may be

paid expenses in accordance with section 5703. The President shall

designate one of the members to serve as Chairman of the Federal

Salary Council. One of the 3 members under subparagraph (A) may be

the Chairman of the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee,

notwithstanding the restriction under section 5347(a)(1), and such

individual may also be designated to serve as Chairman of the

Federal Salary Council.

(2) The pay agent shall -

(A) provide for meetings with the Council and give thorough

consideration to the views and recommendations of the Council and

the individual views and recommendations, if any, of the members

of the Council regarding -

(i) the establishment or modification of pay localities;

(ii) the coverage of the surveys of pay localities conducted

by the Bureau of Labor Statistics under subsection (d)(1)(A)

(including, but not limited to, the occupations, establishment

sizes, and industries to be surveyed, and how pay localities

are to be surveyed);

(iii) the process of comparing the rates of pay payable under

the General Schedule with rates of pay for the same levels of

work performed by non-Federal workers; and

(iv) the level of comparability payments that should be paid

in order to eliminate or reduce pay disparities in accordance

with the requirements of this section;

(B) give thorough consideration to the views and

recommendations of employee organizations not represented on the

Council regarding the subjects in subparagraph (A)(i)-(iv); and

(C) include in its report to the President the views and

recommendations submitted as provided in this subsection by the

Council, by any member of the Council, and by employee

organizations not represented on the Council.

(f)(1) The pay agent may provide for such pay localities as the

pay agent considers appropriate, except that -

(A) each General Schedule position (excluding any outside the

continental United States, as defined in section 5701(6)) shall

be included with a pay locality; and

(B) the boundaries of pay localities shall be determined based

on appropriate factors which may include local labor market

patterns, commuting patterns, and practices of other employers.

(2)(A) The establishment or modification of any such boundaries

shall be effected by regulations which, notwithstanding subsection

(a)(2) of section 553, shall be promulgated in accordance with the

notice and comment requirements of such section.

(B) Judicial review of any regulation under this subsection shall

be limited to whether or not it was promulgated in accordance with

the requirements referred to in subparagraph (A).

(g)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), comparability

payments may not be paid at a rate which, when added to the rate of

basic pay otherwise payable to the employee involved, would cause

the total to exceed the rate of basic pay payable for level IV of

the Executive Schedule.

(2) The applicable maximum under this subsection shall be level

III of the Executive Schedule for -

(A) positions under subparagraphs (A)-(E) of subsection (h)(1);

and

(B) any positions under subsection (h)(1)(F) which the

President may determine.

(h)(1) For the purpose of this subsection, the term ''position''

means -

(A) a position to which section 5376 applies (relating to

certain senior-level positions);

(B) a Senior Executive Service position under section 3132;

(C) a position in the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Drug

administrative law judges appointed under section 3105);

(E) a position to which section 5372a applies (relating to

contract appeals board members); and

(F) a position within an Executive agency not covered under the

General Schedule or any of the preceding subparagraphs, the rate

of basic pay for which is (or, but for this section, would be) no

more than the rate payable for level IV of the Executive

Schedule;

but does not include -

(i) a position to which subchapter IV applies (relating to

prevailing rate systems);

(ii) a position as to which a rate of pay is authorized under

section 5377 (relating to critical positions); or

(iii) a position to which subchapter II applies (relating to

the Executive Schedule).

(2)(A) Notwithstanding subsection (c)(4) or any other provision

of this section, but subject to subparagraph (B) and paragraph (3),

upon the request of the head of an Executive agency with respect to

1 or more categories of positions, the President may provide that

each employee of such agency who holds a position within such

may, on his own initiative, provide that each employee who holds a

position within such category, and in the locality involved, shall

be entitled to receive comparability payments. No later than 30

days before an employee receives comparability payments under this

subparagraph, the President or the President's designee shall

submit a detailed report to the Congress justifying the reasons for

the extension, including consideration of recruitment and retention

rates and the expense of extending locality pay.

(3) Comparability payments under this subsection -

(A) may be paid only in any calendar year in which

comparability payments under the preceding provisions of this

section are payable with respect to General Schedule positions

within the same locality;

(B) shall take effect, within the locality involved, on the

first day of the first applicable pay period commencing on or

after such date as the President designates (except that no date

may be designated which would require any retroactive payments),

and shall remain in effect through the last day of the last

applicable pay period commencing during that calendar year;

(C) shall be computed using the same percentage as is

applicable, for the calendar year involved, with respect to

General Schedule positions within the same locality; and

consistent with the provisions of this section, governing the

Sec. 5305. Special pay authority

-STATUTE-

(a) Whenever the President finds that the Government's

recruitment or retention efforts with respect to 1 or more

occupations in 1 or more areas or locations are, or are likely to

become, significantly handicapped, due to any of the circumstances

described in subsection (b), he may establish for the areas or

locations involved, with respect to individuals in positions paid

under any of the pay systems referred to in subsection (c), higher

minimum rates of basic pay for 1 or more grades or levels,

occupational groups, series, classes, or subdivisions thereof, and

may make corresponding increases in all step rates of the pay range

for each such grade or level. However, a minimum rate so

established may not exceed the maximum pay rate prescribed by

statute for the grade or level by more than 30 percent, and no rate

may be established under this section (disregarding any amount

payable under subsection (g)) in excess of the rate of basic pay

payable for level V of the Executive Schedule. The President may

authorize the exercise of the authority conferred on him by this

section by the Office of Personnel Management or, in the case of

individuals not subject to the provisions of this title governing

appointment in the competitive service, by such other agency as he

may designate.

(b) The circumstances referred to in subsection (a) are -

(1) rates of pay offered by non-Federal employers being

significantly higher than those payable by the Government within

the area, location, occupational group, or other class of

positions under the pay system involved;

(2) the remoteness of the area or location involved;

(3) the undesirability of the working conditions or the nature

of the work involved (including exposure to toxic substances or

other occupational hazards); or

(4) any other circumstances which the President (or an agency

duly authorized or designated by the President in accordance with

the last sentence of subsection (a)) considers appropriate.

(c) Authority under subsection (a) may be exercised with respect

to positions paid under -

(1) a statutory pay system; or

(2) any other pay system established by or under Federal

statute for civilian positions within the executive branch.

(d) Within the limitations applicable under the preceding

provisions of this section, rates of pay established under this

section may be revised from time to time by the President or by

such agency as he may designate. The actions and revisions have

the force and effect of statute.

(e) An increase in a rate of basic pay established under this

section is not an equivalent increase in pay within the meaning of

section 5335.

(f) The rate of basic pay established under this section and

received by an individual immediately before a statutory increase,

which becomes effective prior to, on, or after the date of

enactment of the statute, in the pay schedule applicable to such

individual of any pay system specified in subsection (c) of this

section, shall be initially adjusted, effective on the effective

date of the statutory increase, under conversion rules prescribed

by the President or by such agency as the President may designate.

(g)(1) The benefit of any comparability payments under section

5304 shall be available to individuals receiving rates of basic pay

established under this section to such extent as the President (or

his designated agency) considers appropriate, subject to paragraph

(2) and subsection (h).

(2) Payments under this subsection may not be made if, or to the

extent that, when added to basic pay otherwise payable, such

payments would cause the total to exceed the rate of basic pay

which (as designed and applied) makes meaningful distinctions based

on relative performance.

(3)(A) The Office of Personnel Management and the Office of

Management and Budget jointly shall promulgate such regulations as

may be necessary to carry out this subsection, including the

criteria and procedures in accordance with which any determinations

under this subsection shall be made.

shall be made by the Office of Personnel Management, with the

concurrence of the Office of Management and Budget.

(4) Notwithstanding any provision of paragraph (3), any

The provisos in paragraphs (39) and (46) of former section

(39) and (46) are omitted but not repealed, see table III. The

parts of paragraphs (39) and (46) that are omitted but not repealed

provide that the positions of Director of Selective Service and

Associate Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall be

in Level III so long as the positions are held by the incumbents of

the positions on August 14, 1964. The omission of these provisions

from title 5, without repealing the corresponding provisions of the

source statute, in effect, leaves existing statute unchanged

insofar as it relates to the present incumbents of the positions of

Director of Selective Service and Associate Director of the Federal

Bureau of Investigation.

Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions

applicable and the style of this title as outlined in the preface

to the report.

-------------------------------

The deletion of paragraph (41) of 5 U.S.C. 5314 reflects the

abolition of the position of ''Deputy Administrator of the Housing

and Home Finance Agency'' by the act of September 9, 1965, Public

Law 89-174, sections 5(a), 9(c), 79 Stat. 669, 671.

In paragraph (49), the words ''In lieu of receiving compensation

at the rate prescribed by section 785(c) of this title'' are

omitted since the provisions of 20 U.S.C. 785(c) relating to

compensation are repealed by this bill; also see table II. The

wording further reflects the first sentence of 20 U.S.C. 954(d),

and conforms to 5 U.S.C. 5314 which applies to positions rather

than individuals.

''(1) If the officer or employee is receiving basic pay

immediately prior to the effective date of this section (see

Effective Date of 1967 Amendment note under this section) at one

of the rates of a grade in the General Schedule, he shall receive

a rate of basic pay at the corresponding rate in effect on and

''(2) If the officer or employee is receiving basic pay

immediately prior to the effective date of this section (see

Effective Date of 1967 Amendment note under this section) at a

rate between two rates of a grade in the General Schedule, he

''(3) If the officer or employee is receiving basic pay

immediately prior to the effective date of this section (see

Effective Date of 1967 Amendment note under this section) at a

rate in excess of the maximum rate for his grade, he shall

centum, rounded to the next highest dollar, if such existing rate

as so increased is higher.

''(4) If the officer or employee, immediately prior to the

effective date of this section (see Effective Date of 1967

Amendment note under this section), is receiving, pursuant to

section 2(b)(4) of the Federal Employees Salary Increase Act of

1955, an existing aggregate rate of pay determined under section

208(b) of the Act of September 1, 1954, (68 Stat. 1111), plus

subsequent increases authorized by law, he shall receive an

aggregate rate of pay equal to the sum of his existing aggregate

rate of pay on the day preceding the effective date of this

section, plus the amount of increase made by this section in the

maximum rate of his grade, until (i) he leaves his position, or

(ii) he is entitled to receive aggregate pay at a higher rate by

reason of the operation of this Act or any other provision of

law; but, when such position becomes vacant, the aggregate rate

of pay of any subsequent appointee thereto shall be fixed in

accordance with applicable provisions of law. Subject to clauses

(i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence of this

subparagraph, the amount of the increase provided by this section

shall be held and considered for the purposes of section 208(b)

of the Act of September 1, 1954, to constitute a part of the

existing rate of pay of the employee.

''(5) If the officer or employee, at any time during the period

beginning on the effective date of this section (see Effective

Date of 1967 Amendment note under this section), and ending on

the date of enactment of this title (Dec. 16, 1967), was promoted

from one grade under the General Schedule contained in section

section) to another such grade at a rate which is above the

minimum rate thereof, his rate of basic pay shall be adjusted

retroactively from the effective date of this section to the date

on which he was so promoted, on the basis of the rate which he

was receiving during the period from such effective date to the

date of such promotion and, from the date of such promotion, on

the basis of the rate for that step of the appropriate grade of

the General Schedule contained in the amendment made by

subsection (a) of this section (amending the section) which

corresponds numerically to the step of the grade of the General

Schedule to which such officer or employee was promoted as in

effect (without regard to this title) at the time of such

promotion.

''(6) If the officer or employee, at any time during the period

beginning on the effective date of this section and ending on the

date of enactment of this title (Dec. 16, 1967) became subject to

the General Schedule and his rate of basic pay was set above the

minimum rate of the grade on the basis of a previously earned

rate above such minimum rate, his rate of basic pay shall be

adjusted retroactively to the date on which he became subject to

the General Schedule on the basis of the rate of the appropriate

grade of the General Schedule contained in this section which

corresponds numerically to the rate of the grade at which the pay

of such officer or employee was set at the time he became subject

to the General Schedule.''

PART II - RATE OF MONTHLY CADET OR MIDSHIPMAN PAY

The rate of monthly cadet or midshipman pay authorized by section

203(c) of title 37, United States Code, is $764.40.

Note: As a result of the enactment of sections 602-694 (604) of

Public Law 105-85 (see Tables for classification), the National

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998, the Secretary of

Defense now has the authority to adjust the rates of basic

allowances for subsistence and housing. Therefore, these

allowances are no longer adjusted by the President in conjunction

with the adjustment of basic pay for members of the uniformed

services. Accordingly, the tables of allowances included in

previous orders are not included here.

Sec. 5334. Rate on change of position or type of appointment;

regulations

-STATUTE-

(a) The rate of basic pay to which an employee is entitled is

governed by regulations prescribed by the Office of Personnel

Management in conformity with this subchapter and chapter 51 of

this title when -

(1) he is transferred from a position in the legislative,

judicial, or executive branch to which this subchapter does not

apply;

(2) he is transferred from a position in the legislative,

judicial, or executive branch to which this subchapter applies to

another such position;

(3) he is demoted to a position in a lower grade;

(4) he is reinstated, reappointed, or reemployed in a position

to which this subchapter applies following service in any

position in the legislative, judicial, or executive branch;

(5) his type of appointment is changed;

(6) his employment status is otherwise changed; or

(7) his position is changed from one grade to another grade.

For the purpose of this subsection, an individual employed by the

Appalachian Regional Commission under section 106(2) of the

Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965 (FOOTNOTE 1) (40

U.S.C. App.), who was a Federal employee immediately prior to such

employment by a commission and within 6 months after separation

from such employment is employed in a position to which this

subchapter applies, shall be treated as if transferred from a

position in the executive branch to which this subchapter does not

apply.

(FOOTNOTE 1) See References in Text note below.

(b) An employee who is promoted or transferred to a position in a

higher grade is entitled to basic pay at the lowest rate of the

higher grade which exceeds his existing rate of basic pay by not

less than two step-increases of the grade from which he is promoted

or transferred. If, in the case of an employee so promoted or

transferred who is receiving basic pay at a rate in excess of the

maximum rate of his grade, there is no rate in the higher grade

which is at least two step-increases above his existing rate of

basic pay, he is entitled to -

(1) the maximum rate of the higher grade; or

(2) his existing rate of basic pay, if that rate is the higher.

If an employee so promoted or transferred is receiving basic pay at

a rate saved to him under subchapter VI of this chapter on

reduction in grade, he is entitled to -

(A) basic pay at a rate two steps above the rate which he would

be receiving if subchapter VI of this chapter were not applicable

to him; or

(B) his existing rate of basic pay, if that rate is the higher.

(c) An employee in the legislative branch who is paid by the

Secretary of the Senate or the Chief Administrative Officer of the

House of Representatives, and who has completed two or more years

of service as such an employee, and a Member of the Senate or House

of Representatives who has completed two or more years of service

as such a Member, may, on appointment to a position to which this

subchapter applies, have his initial rate of pay fixed -

(1) at the minimum rate of the appropriate grade; or

(2) at a step of the appropriate grade that does not exceed the

highest previous rate of pay received by him during that service

in the legislative branch.

(d) The rate of pay established for a teaching position as

defined by section 901 of title 20 held by an individual who

becomes subject to subsection (a) of this section is deemed

increased by an amount determined under regulations which the

Secretary of Defense shall prescribe for the determination of the

yearly rate of pay of the position. The amount by which a rate of

pay is increased under the regulations may not exceed the amount

equal to 20 percent of that rate of pay.

(e) An employee of a county committee established pursuant to

section 8(b) of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act

(16 U.S.C. 590h(b)) may, on appointment to a position subject to

this subchapter, have the initial rate of basic pay of the employee

fixed at -

(1) the lowest rate of the higher grade that exceeds the rate

of basic pay of the employee with the county committee by not

less than 2 step-increases of the grade from which the employee

was promoted, if the Federal Civil Service position under this

subchapter is at a higher grade than the last grade the employee

had while an employee of the county committee;

(2) the same step of the grade as the employee last held during

service with the county committee, if the Federal Civil Service

position under this subchapter is at the same grade as the last

grade the employee had while an employee of the county committee;

or

(3) the lowest step of the Federal grade for which the rate of

basic pay is equal to or greater than the highest previous rate

of pay of the employee, if the Federal Civil Service position

under this subchapter is at a lower grade than the last grade the

employee had while an employee of the county committee.

(f) An employee of a nonappropriated fund instrumentality of the

Department of Defense or the Coast Guard described in section

2105(c) who moves, without a break in service of more than 3 days,

to a position in the Department of Defense or the Coast Guard,

respectively, that is subject to this subchapter, may have such

employee's initial rate of basic pay fixed at the minimum rate of

the appropriate grade or at any step of such grade that does not

exceed the highest previous rate of basic pay received by that

employee during the employee's service described in section

2105(c). In the case of a nonappropriated fund employee who is

moved involuntarily from such nonappropriated fund instrumentality

without a break in service of more than 3 days and without

substantial change in duties to a position that is subject to this

subchapter, the employee's pay shall be set at a rate (not above

the maximum for the grade, except as may be provided for under

section 5365) that is not less than the employee's rate of basic

pay under the nonappropriated fund instrumentality immediately

prior to so moving.

-STATUTE-

(a) An employee paid on an annual basis, and occupying a

permanent position within the scope of the General Schedule, who

has not reached the maximum rate of pay for the grade in which his

position is placed, shall be advanced in pay successively to the

next higher rate within the grade at the beginning of the next pay

period following the completion of -

(1) each 52 calendar weeks of service in pay rates 1, 2, and 3;

(2) each 104 calendar weeks of service in pay rates 4, 5, and

6; or

(3) each 156 calendar weeks of service in pay rates 7, 8, and

9;

subject to the following conditions:

(A) the employee did not receive an equivalent increase in pay

from any cause during that period; and

(B) the work of the employee is of an acceptable level of

competence as determined by the head of the agency.

(b) Under regulations prescribed by the Office of Personnel

Management, the benefit of successive step-increases shall be

preserved for employees whose continuous service is interrupted in

the public interest by service with the armed forces or by service

in essential non-Government civilian employment during a period of

war or national emergency.

(c) When a determination is made under subsection (a) of this

section that the work of an employee is not of an acceptable level

of competence, the employee is entitled to prompt written notice of

that determination and an opportunity for reconsideration of the

determination within his agency under uniform procedures prescribed

by the Office of Personnel Management. If the determination is

affirmed on reconsideration, the employee is entitled to appeal to

the Merit Systems Protection Board. If the reconsideration or

appeal results in a reversal of the earlier determination, the new

determination supersedes the earlier determination and is deemed to

have been made as of the date of the earlier determination. The

authority of the Office to prescribe procedures and the entitlement

of the employee to appeal to the Board do not apply to a

determination of acceptable level of competence made by the

Librarian of Congress.

(d) An increase in pay granted by statute is not an equivalent

increase in pay within the meaning of subsection (a) of this

section.

(e) This section does not apply to the pay of an individual

appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of

the Senate.

(f) In computing periods of service under subsection (a) in the

instrumentality of the Department of Defense or the Coast Guard

described in section 2105(c) to a position under the Department of

Defense or the Coast Guard, respectively, that is subject to this

Sec. 5341. Policy

-STATUTE-

It is the policy of Congress that rates of pay of prevailing rate

employees be fixed and adjusted from time to time as nearly as is

consistent with the public interest in accordance with prevailing

rates and be based on principles that -

(1) there will be equal pay for substantially equal work for

all prevailing rate employees who are working under similar

conditions of employment in all agencies within the same local

wage area;

(2) there will be relative differences in pay within a local

wage area when there are substantial or recognizable differences

in duties, responsibilities, and qualification requirements among

positions;

(3) the level of rates of pay will be maintained in line with

prevailing levels for comparable work within a local wage area;

and

(4) the level of rates of pay will be maintained so as to

attract and retain qualified prevailing rate employees.
