REPORT BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES


Problems In Developing And

Implementing A Total Compensation Plan

For Federal Employees


The Administration has proposed legislation
which would allow for adjusting not only pay
but also benefits to achieve a total compensa-
tion comparability between the Federal and
non-Federal sectors. While GAO believes a
total compensation plan should be adopted,
modifications are needed to the one the Office
of Personnel Management (OPM) has dvel-
oped.%A

Making benefits comparisons is mn  ,
difficult than making pay comparisons'
fits are numerous, complex, and difficult
measure; many assumptions must be made.

GAO recommends that the proposed legisla-
tion be modified to require OPM to insure that
all significant benefits are appropriately ac-
counted for. OPM should justify the assump-
tions used and provide assurance that benefits
data can be accurately gathered and classified.
Benefits differences by major employee group
and by locality should also be fully considered.

The Congress should consider initially imple-
menting a total compensation system in which
pay and benefits are measured and adjusted
separately.
