Dear Sir:

    We have completed ourcreview of  civilian compensation at Mare Islandj
and Hunters Point Naval Shipyards.  Our  review, completed in May 1970,
was made pursuant to the Budget and Accounting Act,  1921 (31 U.S.C. 53),
and the Accounting and Auditing Act, 1950  (31 U.S.C. 67).

    We reviewed the propriety of salary rates  of selected employees and
the time and attendance procedures at  the two shipyards.  We noted an
error in the salary rate of one  employee and weaknesses in the time and
attendance procedures.  We have discussed  our findings with shipyard
officials and are listing them below  for your information.

Propriety of Salary Rates

    One Mare Island employee was promoted prior  to meeting the time-in-
grade requirements of the Act  of November 1, 1951, as amended (Whitten
Amendment).  He was given a within-grade  increase 52 weeks after his
improper promotion.

    Mare Island officials  told us that the promotion resulted from an
administrative error, but  since the employee was promoted on a Sunday
and received no compensation  for that day and was eligible for the pro-
motion on the next day, Monday, he  was not overpaid as a result of the
promotion.  However, had his promotion  been properly made, he would have
received his within-grade  one pay period later.  He was overpaid $8.80.

    Mare Island officials  stated that they would take the appropriate
action to correct  the overpayment.

Time and Attendance

    The Mare  Island Timekeeping Section maintains files of authoriza-
tions to  certify timecards.  These files were not updated in accordance
