V0540 FILE: B-191523 DATE: Scpteber 5, 1978 MATTER OF: Dorothy H, Greathouse - Pay Adjustment for Supervisors DIGEST: Supervisor, who received one pay adjustment under 5 U.S.C. 5333(b), is not entitled to subsequent adjustments but may receive them within discretion of agency. Failure of agency to grant subsequent pay adjustments, atsent mandatory agency policy, does not constitute admirlstrative error which warrants retroactive compensation. This action is in response to the appeal by Mrs. Dorothy R. Greathouse of our Claims Divsion settlement dated September 8, 1977, denying her claim for a retroactive pay adjustment as a supervisor of wage board employees. The record indicator'thiv Mrs. Greathouse was employed by the Department of the Air Force as a Supervisory Supply Clerk, grade GS-5, step 3, ar.d that effective January 6, 1974, she received a salary adjustment to grade 08-5, step 8, since she was supervising one or more prevailing rate empliye' s whose basic pay exceeded her rate. It appears that incident to a pay increase for prevailing rate employees effective May 12, 1974, Mrs. Greathouse sought an additional pay adjustment. The Air Force, by letter dated April 18, 1975, denied Mrs. Greathoyse's request on the grounds that she exercised little or no super- vision of prevailing rate employees, that only one prevailing rate employee received a higher rate of pay,, and that a pay adjustment for Mrs. Greathouse would be unfair to another super- visor with essentially the same responsibilty. Mrs. Greathouse filed a grievance with her agency, and the grievance examiner recormanded that Mrs. Greathouse be granted the pay adjustment retroactively. The Air Force reviewed the record and deter- mined that Mrs. Greathouse's work situation met the require- ments for a pay adjustment to grade GS-5p.cstep 10, which was implemented effective November 7, 1976. Mrs. Greathouse filed a claim for retroactive componnation for the period from May 12, 1974, to November 7, 1976. The Claims Division settlement denied Mrs. Greathouse's claim since the applicable reguations governing pay adjustments for supervisors do not have retroactive effect. In addition,
