UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE 1 WASHINGTON, D.C. _.MW3 RELEASED GWQlNAL GOVENM Dir DI nION B-220214 SEP 30 1985 The Honorable William D. Ford Chairman, Committee on Post Office and Civil Service 128245 House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: Subject: Information on the Downgrading of Bureau of Prisons' Wage Supervisor Positions (GAO/GGD-85-87) By letter dated June 12, 1984, you requested us to evaluate the Federal Bureau of Prisons' (BOP) reclassification of its wage supervisor positions. In an August 1984 meeting with your representatives to discuss the request, we agreed that, because the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has final authority over classification decisions, our work would necessarily be limited to determining whether proper procedures and regulations were followed in the reclassifications. We also pointed out that some of the BOP decisions to downgrade positions were being appealed to OPM. Based on that meeting, we agreed that no additional work would be done until after some of the appeals from affected employees had been decided. This report presents the results of that work which was performed in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. We reviewed (1) OPM, BOP, and Department of Justice (DOJ) correspondence; (2) OPM's decisions on six appeal cases that it considered to be precedents for all the BOP reclassification actions; (3) pertinent laws and regulations; and (4) classification policy contained in the Federal Personnel Manual. We also interviewed appropriate OPM and DOJ officials. BACKGROUND In January 1982, OPM required BOP to conduct a classification review of positions involving the supervision of inmates performing trades and labor work. An OPM evaluation of position classifications at two prisons in July and August 1981 (966221)
