GGD-93-36R 1 (1993-04-29)

handle is hein.gao/gaobackhr0001 and id is 1 raw text is: AUnited States G' oGeneral Accounting Offce Washington, D.C. 20548 General Government Division B-249772 April 29, 1993 The Honorable William L. Clay Chairman, Committee on Post Office and Civil Service House of Representatives Dear Mr. Clay: We recently completed a review of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board's (Safety Board) use of its exempt authority for classification, hiring, and pay for its technical staff. We found that the Safety Board has used this authority in a judicious manner and have no basis to conclude that these exemptions should be discontinued. Specifically, we noted that the pay bands for the technical staff generally conform to existing General Schedule and Senior Level pay rates of other federal employees, the staff are not all placed in the highest pay band or paid the highest amounts within each band, and most of the recent hiring has occurred at the entry level pay band. In reviewing the Safety Board's implementation of its authority, we were initially concerned about the lack of documentation of its hiring process. Recent improvements to the process, such as issuing job announcements, rating applicants, and preparing certificates of eligibles have satisfied our concern. Enclosed is a copy of the slides used during our April 6, 1993, meeting with your staff and our April 22, 1993, meeting with the Chairman of the Safety Board and his staff. If you have any questions or require additional information, please call me at (202) 512-5074. Sincerely yours, Nancy Kisbu ry Directo Federal Human Resource Management Issues Enclosure GAO/GGD-93-36R Safety Board Title 5 Exemption
