MATTER OF:


THE  COMPTROLLER GENERAL

WASHINGTON. 0.C. 20546


                   DATE; aygaber 17, 197

Billy M. Medaug? - Pay Adjustment for
Supervisor


Decision in Billy M. Mbdaugh, 55 Comp. Gen.
1443 (1976) held that pay adjustment for
General Schedule supervisor of wage board
employee must be eliminated or reduced when
corlitions prercribed in 5 U.S.C. 5333(b)
are not longer met.  That holding is not
to be implemented while Civil Service Com-
mission reviews regulations to determine
what regulatory modifications may be
needed to implement the decision.


     We refer to our decision entitled Billy M. Mbdaurh, 55 Comp.
Gen. 1443 (1976) which concerned the clim of a General Schedule
supervisor or a wage board employee for a retroactive wage adjust-
ment.  The decision held that Mr. Medaugh was entitled under the
Back Pay Act to a retroactive adjustment of his salary because
or an administrative error by the employing agency in failing to
comply with a mandatory agency regulation requiring the prompt
identification of Mr.  edaugh for the pay adjustment. In addition,
we held that the pay adjustment for General Schedule supervisors of
wage boari employees authorized by 5 U.S.C. 5333(b) is conditioned
on the continued supervision of the wage board employee, and is
limited to the nearest rate of the supervisor's grade which ex.
ceeds the highest rate of basic pay paid to the supervised employee.
We therefore concluded that wtin these conditions are no longer met,
as when the wage board employee is separated or reduced in pay, the
adjustment previously granted to the supervisor must be eliminated
or reduced, as required by the circumstances. This latter holding
is the subject of the present action.

     Following the issuance of our decision in Medaugh, we discussed
with the Civi1 Service Comission the appropriate means to implement
and administer that decision. It was agreed that agencies should
be advised not to implement the latter holding of Medaugh while
the Commission determines what modifications or additions to
existing regulations might be needed. Pursuant to that agreement,
on August 11, 1977, the Civil Service Commission issued Bulletin
