                             THE  COMPTROLLER GENERAL
DECISION                     OF   THE UNITED STATES
                             WASHINGTON. D. C. 2054B

MATTER OF:
                Billy N. Medaugh  retroactive pay adjustment

D.IGEST:
           1.  Supervisor, whose salary was less than
               that of wage board employee whom he
               supervised, was not identified as eli-
               gible for pay adjustment. Since prompt
               identification was required by non-
               discretionary agency regulation, non.
               compliance constitutes administrative
               error-which may be rectified by the
               granting of backpay under 5 U.S.C.
               1 5596.

           2.  Pay adjustment for General Schedule
               supervisor of wage board employee under
               5 U.S.C. § 5333(b) is conditioned on
               continued supervision of the wage board
               employee and is limited to nearest rate
               of supervisor's grade which exceeds the
               highest rate of basic pay paid to super-
               vised employee. When these conditions
               are no longer met, as when wage board
               employee is separated or reduced in pay,
               the adjustment previously granted to the
               supervisor must be eliminated or reduced,
               as required by the circumstances.

      This matter is before us as the result of the appeal by
 Mr. Billy H. Medaugh, the claimant herein, of the disallowance
 by our Claims Division of his claim for retroactive compensation.
 This claim was filed to correct au administrative failure to
 adjust Mr. Medaugh's pay fron December 12, 1970, to September 30,
 1972, during which Mr. Medaugh was the supervisor of a wage
 board employee whose salary exceeded his.

      The record indicates that Mr. Medaugh, an employee of the
 Department of the Air Force, was appointed as a commissary store
 manager, GS-4, step 1, at $5,853 per annur effective December 12,
 1970.  Part of his duties entailed supervising a wage board
 employee whose rate of pay exceeded his own salary. Although
