C1,.. *0a4 PILE: B-I MATTER U DIGEBT: 87597 DATE: January 24i 1977 F: Christie J. Gagliano - Retroactive wage rate adjustment Wage board employee claimed wage rate increase retroactive to date of wage adjustment given to ochbr positions in employing agency. Although employee claims administrative error for failure to implement intended personnel action, retroactive salary increase may not be paid since record fails to establish administrative intent to adjust em- ployee's salary prior to date of such adjustment. This action concerns an appeal dated July 22, 1976, by Mr. Christie J.
