handle is hein.gao/gaobactxs0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO A u United States General Accounting Office Office of Washington, DC 20548 General Counsel In Reply ~~/tX('to Bi-200101~ (HID) November 28, 1980 Mr. Chester C. Stroyny Chief, Program Management Branch Division of Program Management Medicare Bureau, HCFA Deiartment of Health and Human Services Region V - Chicago 175 West Jackson Blvd., Suite A-824 Chicago, Illinois 60604 Dear Mr.. Strovny: We refear to your inquiry dated August 20, 1980, concerning the administrative procedures which your agency, Health Care Financing Administration, will be applying at the time you are converted to the merit pay system. You indicate concern with what you perceive as a gross ineCuiy in the effect of the conversion pro- cess on your compensation base for merit pay purposes. Specifically, you question what relief is available for those employees who will receive no compensation for time-in-grade toward their next step increase at the point of merit pay conversion. Pursuant to statute, disbursing officers, heads of executive departments, c'ertifying officers and claimants whose claims have been disallowed are entitled to a formal decision by the Comptroller General of the United States, 31 U.S.C. §§ 74 and 82d. As you do not solicit an opinion in one of these capacities, this Office will not provide you with a binding decision in this matter at this time. However, the following information may be helpful. Your inquiry illustrates a problem that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) agrees is genuine because the Civil Service Reform Act has no provisions which cover the transition from the General Schedule to merit pay.
