REFER TO: B-191328(BRP)


E OF GENERAL COUNSEL


April 3, 1978


Dear Mrs.


    We refer to your letter of February 16, 1978, in which you
request an investigation into your reinstatement at the General
Schedule (GS) 5, step 1, grade level by the Department of the
Army. We have also received a letter of recommendation dated
February 16, 1978, from James 0. Ealey, Sergeant First Class,
Noncommissioned Officer.in Charge, Department of Radiology,
Walson Army Hospital, in which he requests that this Office
review the matter and make a prompt and just decision.

    Briefly summarized,,you state that you worked as a Medical
Radiology Technologist, 6S-6, from February 1967 to November
1975. In June 1976, you applied for reinstatement to a position
in the Department of Radiology that was vacant at that time. How-
ever, you report that this position was filled by a person with no
prior civil service experience and you were informed that your
paperwork had been misplaced. You were asked and did take a
position as a Receptionist Clerk, GS-3, but your pay scale was
not adjusted, as promised.

    In July 1976, you state that you returned to the Department
of Radiology as a GS-5. However, you were given the lowest
possible starting pay which was GS-5, step 1. You feel that the
salary you are receiving. is far too low for your years of experience
in radiology. Sergeant Ealey states that you have all of the ability
and technical competence desired of any-medical radiology
technologist and are functionally efficient in all aspects of the
operations of the department.

   Our authority to render decisions is limited to matters
presented by heads of departments and agencies, disbursing and
certifying officers, and to claimants who have filed monetary
claims with our Office. 31 U. S. C. §§ 74 and 82d. However,
we hope that the following information will be of assistance
to you in this matter.
