OP THE UNITED STATUE WASHINGTON, 0.C. 20548 FILE: B-215268 DATE: March 24, 1986 MATTER OF: Reconsideration of Voice of America - Limitation on Pay Increases for Radio Broadcast Technician Foremen DIGEST: Supervisors of prevailing rate employees seek reconsideration of our prior decision, 64 Comp. Gen. 100 (1984), holding that the supervisors are subject to the statutorily-imposed pay limitation which does not apply to their subordinates, who negotiate their pay increases. We affirm our prior decision since the supervisors are clearly covered by the pay increase limitation and are not specifically excluded from the limitation. Prior decisions involving pay linkage between groups of prevailing rate employees are distinguished since they do not deal with specific statutory pay limitations. Prior court decisions involving prevailing rate employees who are not covered by the statutory pay limitation are also distinguished on the same basis. ISSUE The issue in this decision is whether pay increases for Radio Broadcast Technician Foremen may be excluded from the statutory pay increase limitation applicable to most prevailing rate employees. We hold that the Foremen are covered by the terms of the statute limiting pay increases and may not be excluded based on prior GAO decisions involving linkage between groups of prevailing rate employees or based on court decisions involving prevailing rate employees who were not subject to the statutory pay limitations. BACKGROUND This decision is in response to a request from Janet Cooper, Attorney at Law, on behalf of Philip Danaher, Michael Ostergard, and all similarly situated Radio
