B- 186760 DATE: Octoler 8, 19f6 MATTER DIGEST: OF: Position Classification - Delay in Effective Dite Employees claim Air Force improperly delayed implementing classification actions moving them from quality control wage board position to one in General Schedule. New multiple GS-8 position was classified iarch 17, 1975. More than 200 n-ployees had to be trained for approximately 90 days in new duties beginning in June 1975. Then ciassification audits of each employee had to be performed. Audits were completed December 1, 1979, and -agency pro- cessed personnel actions for all errployees effective December 20, 1975. GAO finds no arbitrary delay no- any basis to permit retroactive personnel actions. By letter of June 3, 1976, Melvin L. Jacobsen rcouestcd a Comptroller General decision concerning an allegeu unw ar- ranted delay in implementing new classification standards which changed Quality Control Inspectors, WO-12, enpoyed by the Department uf the Air Force at lill Air Force Base, Utah, t> Quality Inspection Specialistb (Aerospace), GS-t960-08. Mr. Jacobsen, as a member of the American Federa tion of Government Erployues, represents some 217 employees who were affected by the change in classification. Since the Sub- ject matter previously had been appealed to the Denver region of the United States Civil Service Commission, administrative reports on Mr. Jacobsen's request were obtained from the Civil Service Commission Regional Office and from Hill Air Force Base. Mr. Jacobsen states that the subject position description was effective March 15, 1975, and sho-ild have been put into effect prior to Scptenber 1 5, 1975. A copy of a position description for Quality Inspection Specialist (Aerospace), GS-1960-08, was submitted with the equest for decision. The description, which appairently wa.; unlimited as to the nunber of incumbents, indicates that the position was classi- fied on MAvrch Y7, 1975. Mr. Jacobsen states that management personnel were ready to implement the new positions prior to September 15, 1975; however, iIrmplementation was delayed un- til Decemriber 20, 1975, because Mr. Webster of Classification desired a b-nch audit of the poitibns. p 11 .1 1 w I r I C, aD i FILE: h L I rol , 91 11 ILI Fj I I Im I
