handle is hein.gao/gaobadjja0001 and id is 1 raw text is: DECISION FILE: B-201862 jo MATTER OF: Robert F. Marr - Waiver DIGEST: Employee's appeal for waiver of overpay- ment of salary resulting from premature within-grade increase must be denied. GS-12 employee with 20 years or more Government service should have been aware that after promotion to higher grade, he was not eligible for within- grade increase for one year. Further, when he authorized deduction from pay for prior overpayment and instead re- ceived increase, he was on notice of error. Since employee made no inquiry concerning these matters, he was not without fault and does not qualify for waiver. Mr. Robert F. Marrlrequests reconsideration of the determination of our Claims Division denying his equest for waiver under 5 U.S.C. § 5584 (1976),Lof *erroneous overpayments of compensatio27 (Claim No. Z-2760394). Mr. Marr was a computer specialist employed by the General Services Administration (GSA). His ser- vice computation date was June 12, 1948, indicating he had 20 years or more of Government service at the time in question. CHe received a promotion from g ade 9 GS-1I, step 4 to GS-12, step 1 on April 1, 1973, and he was eligible for a within-grade increaseto GS-12, step 2, on March 31, 1974, one year later. However, Mr. Marr erroneously received the w thin grade in- creaseDto step 2 on June 24, 1973, less than three months after his grade increase. This was due to the agency's failure to correct his within grade beginning date in the payroll master record when he was promoted.- rAs a result he was overpaid $441.60 from June 24, 1973, Lhrough March 30, 1974, L- en the error was discovered Mr. Marr authorized the GSA to deduct $20 a pay perioc< from his salary to collect this overpayment.
