MATTER OF:       Louis J. Derdevanis - Entitlement to
                  lerit Pay Increase

DIGEST:


         An employee's position under the General
         Schedule was to be converted to Merit
         Pay in October 1981. However, in
         September 1981, his position was removed
         froa those to be converted to Merit Pay.
         This occurred after the employee's rat-
         ing period had concluded resulting in a
         rating of highly successful which
         would have qualified hin Cor a merit pay
         increase. Since the employee's position
         was not cf)rverted to merit pay and he
         was not under merit pay when the merit
         pay increases were awarded in October
         1981, the agency denie hii  ,erit pay
         increase. We hold that the employee is
         not entitled to the merit pay increase
         since his position was iot converted to
         ,ilerit pay and he was not under the merit
         )ay program when the increases were
         ,iwaired as required by applicable regu-
         lations.

                            ISSUE

      The issue in this decision is the entitlement of an
 employee to a merit pay increase to be awarded after his
 position was removed from those to be converted to i lerit
 pay. The employee had been rated for merit pay purposes
 for the entire applicable ratLing period of 11 months, outl
 he was not under the merit pay program at the til.ue Tie- e
 increases were awarded. For the following reasons, we
 hold that the employee is not enti-ttled to the merit pay
 increase for the period in question.

                        3ACKGROUND

      This decision is in response to the appeal by
 Mr. Louis J. Derdevanis from our Claims Group settlement,
 Z-2846629, dated February 1, 1983, denying his claim for
 a merit pay increase.
