OP THE UNITEO DTATES ' WASHINGTON. 0.C. 20543 FILE: B-21 5268 DATE: November 26, 1984 MATTER OF: Voice of America - Limitat-ion onr Pay Increase for Radio Broadcast Technician Foremen DIGEST:._ Supervisors of prevailing rate employees who negotiate their pay increases are subject to statutorily-imposed pay limi- tation which applies to most prevailing rate employees. These supervisors are within the express terms of the pay increase limitation and are not covered by the specific exclusions from the limitation. 60 Comp. Gen. 58 (1980), distinguished. The issue in this decision is whether the pay increase for Radio Broadcast Technician Foremen may be excluded from the pay increase limitation imposed by law on most prevail- ing rate employees. We hold that the pay increase for these supervisors is subject to the statutorily-imposed pay increase limitation even though their subordinates negoti- ated higher wage increases and were excluded from the pay increase limitation. BACKGROUND The decision is in response to a request from William E. Carroll, Director of Personnel, Voice of America, United States Information Agency. The agency request states that Radio Broadcast Technicians are prevailing rate employees who negotiate their wages as provided under section 9(b) of Public Law 92-392 (August 19, 1972) and section 704 of Public Law 95-454 (October 13, 1978), 5 U.S.C. 5 5343 note (1982). While Public Law 92-392 established a statutory basis for the prevailing rate system, section 9(b) of that law preserved the provisions of negotiated contracts in effect on the date of its enactment, as well as the renewal, extension or modification of such provisions. Section 704(b) of Public Law 95-454, the Civil Service Reform Act, clarifies the rights of employees covered by section 9(b) of Public Law 92-392 to negotiate their wages. 58 Comp. Gen. 198 (1979).
