D.C. 20548 FILE: B-221670 DATE: July 29, 1986 MATTER OF: Malcolm J. Clark DIGEST: A wage grade employee employed in Alaska by the Federal Aviation Administration who converted from a wage grade position to a General Schedule position had his pay set erroneously based upon the highest wage grade rate earned in a wage grade position held outside Alaska rather than the appropriate Alaska wage grade rate. The error continued through subsequent pay increases includ- ing employment with the Bureau of Land Manage- ment. Waiver was allowed for the period the employee accepted the overpayments in good faith, but the denial of waiver is sustained for pay periods the employee received overpayments after being notified an error had been made.

He was paid at the GS-11, step 10, rate until October 3, 1981. Mr. Clark was transferred to the Bureau of Land Manage- ment, Department of the Interior, on October 4, 1981.
