Donna Fonville - Pay-svtting incident to
promotion .- Prevailing rate employee


Employee of Defense Mapping Agency is
entitled to increase4 compensation in the
form of an additional step rate of her
applicable wage schedule because the agency's
policy of rounding down fractions of less
than one-half of one cent produced a raise
in pay incident to her promotion of less
than 4 percent, which was not in accor-
dance with regulatory pay-setting require-
ments.  Under 5 C.F.R. § 532.407, pay raise
at time of promotion for prevailing rate
emrnployee is required to be at least 4 per-
cent.


     In this decision we determine that 14s. Donna Fonville,
an employee of the Defense Mapping Agency Aerospace Center
(DMAAC), is entitled to increased compensation in the form
of an additional step within her wage schedule. This deter-
mlration follows from a finding that the agency's policy of
rounding down fractions of less than one-half of I cent pro-
duced a raise in pay for Ms. Fonville at the time of her
promotion of less than 4 ,-ercent in contravention of con-
trolling personnel regulations.

                    STATEMENT OF THE CLAIM

     On January 25, 1981, Ms. Fonville was promoted from
the position of Painter Helper, WG-4102-05, Step 2 ($8.12
per hour) to the position of Painter Worker, WG-4102-07,
Step 1 ($8.44 per hour). In setting Ms. Fonville's new
rate of pay incident to her promotion, the DMAAC Personnel
Office reported that it followed the provisions of section
8-3d(l) of Federal Personnel Manual Supplement (FPM Supp.)
532-1 (Inst. 17, April 14, 1980), which states that, upon
promotion, an employee is entitled to be paid at the lowest
scheduled rate of the grade to which promoted which exceeds
his or her existing scheduled rate of pay by at least 4 per-
cent of the representative rate of Lhe grade from which
promoted.
