Ladmirault File: B-261303 Date: October 23, 1995 DIGEST Through administrative error, agency continued to pay employee the increased salary applicable to her former position after her reassignment to a position which did not warrant such an increase. The employee should have been on notice that the new position did not warrant the salary increase. Her failure to make inquiry as to the correctness of her salary constitutes fault on her part. Waiver of the overpayment is denied. DECISION Beverly J. Ladmirault, an employee of the Veterans Administration Medical Center, New Orleans, Louisiana, appeals our Settlement Certificate Z-2927648, dated March 30, 1995, denying her waiver of $1,463.82 salary overpayment. We sustain the denial. BACKGROUND Ms. Ladmirault was a registered nurse at the Veterans Administration Medical Center from 1990 until March 18, 1994, when she resigned her position. She had been employed as a critical care nurse in the Intensive Care Unit until September 6, 1992, when she was reassigned to a regular nursing assignment in a ward. While in the status of critical care nurse, she was entitled to increased salary, but, due to an administrative error, the increase continued after her reassignment to the ward. The period of overpayment was from September 6, 1992, to February 20, 1993. The Veterans Administration (VA) notified Ms. Ladmirault of the error on April 21, 1993, at which time she requested waiver of the overpayment, stating that she had no prior knowledge that she had been overpaid. The Committee on Waivers and Compromises of the Veterans Administration contacted the Personnel Service at the Medical Center and verified that all nurses had received special training during 1991 regarding the pay differential between 7091020
