DECISION





FILE:  B-202424


THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON. O.C. 20548



      DATE:   September 4, 1981


MATTER OF: Russell E. Tudor - Supervisor's
              Retroactive Pay Adjustment


General Schedule employee who received
pay adjustment effective December 2,
1979, as supervisor of prevailing rate
employee with higher pay may not be
granted retroactive pay prior to that
date. Entitlement to pay adjustment
was within discretion of agency since
prior agency policy on pay adjustments
was suspended during period of claim
here and there was no abuse of discretion
which warrants retroactive compensation.
                     /


     This is in response to an appeal by Russell E. Tudor
of our Claims Group Settlement No. Z-2824069, dated
November 21, 1980, denying his claim for a retroactive pay
adjustment as a supervisor of wage board employees.

     The record shows that on January 12, 1979,
Russell Tudor was promoted to a position of Supervisory
Production Manager, grade GS-12, step 1, in the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, Department of the Treasury. Part
of his duties involved supervising a wage board employee
whose rate of pay exceeded his own salary. On February 6,
1979, Mr. Tudor's supervisor initiated a personnel action
to adjust Mr. Tudor's salary based on the subordinate
employee's prevailing rate. The supervisor was telephoni-
cally notified by the Office of Industrial Relations that
its practice of effecting such pay adjustments had been
temporarily suspended pending the outcome of the Treasury
Department's review of the appropriateness of the
Bureau's practice in granting such adjustments.

     In November 1979, the Treasury Department deter-
mined that Mr. Tudor's position did meet the Federal
Personnel Manual criteria necessary to warrant an
upward adjustment of his pay. A personnel action was
subsequently processed and Mr. Tudor's salary was
adjusted effective December 2, '979, from grade
GS-12, step 1, to grade GS-12, step 4. Mr. Tudor's
claim is for the difference between grade GS-12,
