DECISION





FILE: B-191352


THE  COMPTRaLLER GENERAL
OF   THE U.ITED *TATE'
WAS  UINGTON. D.C. 2054

DIGJEST:


Naval Shipyard employee received two successive
promotions which resulted in his pay being
adjusted with each promotion.  Employee claims
'his pay rate should have buen set at his highest
preyious rate in accordance with Shipyard
repromotion regulation.  That regulation was
not applicable since employee was not demotea
and later promoted to former position as con-
templated by 1repromotion regulation. Employee'i
rate was~ properly adjusted under Fhipyard
ipromotiin regulation when he wao promoted from
General Schedule to Wage Schedule.


     This action concerns the claim filed by Mr. Paul J.
Thibeault, an employee of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in
Fortsmouth, New Hampshire, for a pay adjustment in connection
with his promotion fro Production Controller, a General
Schedule position, to Ship Scheduler, a prevailing rate (Wr3e
Schedule) position. At issue is whether or not the Shipyard
properly applied Lhe provision of its regulation for setting
pay rates upon promction.

     Mr. Thibeault was promoted from Ship Scheduler (Electrician)
WD-08, step 5, $6.49 per hour, to Production Controller GS-09,
step 6, $6.51 per hour, effective September 30, 1973. Sub-
sequently, effective January 18, 1976, he was promoted from
Production Controller GS-09, step 7, $7.78 per hour, to Ship
Scheduler  (Electricfan) WD-08, step 3, $8,25 per hour. As
a result of a rec> ;sification action on January 18, 1976, the
duties of Ship Scheduler were redefined and the need for
Production Controllers was eliminated in the Ship Scheduling area.

     Mr. Thibeault states that his procression was via Merit
Promotion.  He believes that upon promotion to Ship Scheduler in
January 1976, his pay rate should have been set at WD-08, step 5,
instead of WD-08, step 3. He claims that the activity disregard-
ed Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Instruction (PNSI) 12552.4A in
determining his pay level. Mr. Thibeault's pay rate was set
under the provision of the regulation pertaining to setting
ratos upon promotions and Mr. Thibeault believes the rate chould
have been set under the provision dealing with repromotions.
