  MATTER  OF:
              Arnold J. Glaz -- Pay Adjustment for
              Supervisors
  [DIGEST: 'General Schedule supervisor, whose
            salary rate was less than)Vaqe board
            employee@ e supervised, did not,
            receiveopay adjustment under-57W..C
            5 1133 (now 5333(b)). Entitlement toa
            pay adjustment is within1discretion of/4
            aqency, nd, absent mandatory agency

            does otco   tituteDibuse of discretion
            errorar ntp retroactive
            compensation.

     This action is in response to the appeal by
Mr. Arnold J. Glaz of our Claims Division settlement
dated January 30, 1978, denyinq his claim for a retro-
active pay adjustment as-a General Schedule supervisor
of waqe board employees.

     The record indicates that Mr. Glaz was emoloved
by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and that
from August 7, 1965, to September 10, 1967 he was detailed
to the position of Acting Chief, Domestic Services, grade
GS-9, and from September 10, 1967, to May 18, 1969, he
was appointed to the position of Domestic Services Chief,
grade GS-9.  During this period of nearly 4 years,
Mr. Glaz supervised one or more prevailinq rate employees
whose rate of basic oay exceeded his rate; he received
no pay adjustment as a result of that supervision; and
he has filed a claim for retroactive compensation for
this period.

     The Claims Division settlement denied Mr. Glaz'
claim since under the applicable statute and regulations
such a pay adjustment is not mandatory but is wholly
within the discretion of the empl.oying aqency. On appeal,
Mr. Glaz araues that the FAA.may have failed to consider
him for a pay adjustment, an action which he considers
to be an abuse of discretion and tantamount to an evasion
of reaulations.
