Kremer - Waiver of Overpayment of Pay File: B-231924 Date: October 24, 1989 DIGEST An employee, who failed to review his leave and earnings statements and notice an unexplained step increase and the significant increase in his salary, is denied waiver of the resulting overpayment of salary. DECISION This decision is in response to an appeal by Mr. Donald R. Kremer, an employee of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Department of the Interior, requesting waiver of an overpayment of salary in the amount of $2,509.70. Our Claims Group denied waiver stating that Mr. Kremer should have noticed from his payroll documents and leave and earnings statements that his step level had been changed and should have questioned the accuracy of his pay.l/ For the reasons stated later in this decision, we sustain the settlement of the Claims Group. BACKGROUND Mr. Kremer received several pay adjustments in 1980 including a promotion effective June 15, 1980, from Maintenance Worker, WG-6, step 5 ($8.32 per hour), to Maintenance Worker Leader, WL-6, step 4 ($8.83 per hour), and a general pay increase on October 1, 1980, from $8.83 per hour to $8.96 per hour. Subsequently, due to adminis- trative error, he received a step increase to WL-6, step 5, at $9.30 per hour effective December 28, 1980, and this error was not discovered until July 1984. In his letter of appeal, Mr. Kremer states that he was not aware of the overpayment. He reports that he was involved in several reductions-in-force and was required to move to I_/ Z-2877618, May 12, 1987.
