handle is hein.gao/gaobadijx0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERA~ DECISION ~24iOF THE UNITED STATES WAS H N GTON D C 2 0 54 8 FILE: B-195596 DATE: July 8, 1980 MATTER OF: Alton R. Mullins - Conversion WG to GS - Night Differential DIGEST: 1. An employee of NASA was converted along with his position from prevailing rate hourly wage system to General Schedule salary system while working the day shift in rotating shift arrangement. Shortly before conversion employee had been on night shift and was collecting night dif- ferential in addition to his scheduled rate. Night differential may be included in the computation of his basic pay for purposes of conversion only if he was collecting differential in last hour of pay status prior to conversion. This action derives from an appeal of our Claims Division's Settlement Certificate, dated June 21, 3 1979, which denied the claim of Mr. Alton R. Mullins, an employee of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The Claimant seeks backpay incident to an alleged error in fixing his pay upon conversion of his position from the prevailing rate hourly wage system (WG) to the General Schedule salary system.(GS). We are compelled to sustain the denial of Mr. Mullins' claim for the reasons stated below. Mr. Mullins' grade WG-11 position was converted to grade GS-7 effective May 2, 1971, and his pay was adjusted from the rate for grade WG-11, step 3 to the rate for grade GS-7, step 5. Prior to the conversion, Mr. Mullins was assigned to a rotating shift which required him to periodically alternate with other employees on day shift (8 a.m. - 4 p.m.), swing shift (4 p.m. - 12 p.m.), or night shift (12 p.m. 8 a.m.). Employees on the day shift were paid the scheduled rate, and those on the swing shift and night shift were paid the scheduled rate plus a 10- cent per hour or 15-cent per. hour night differen- tial.
