Subpart C - Pay and Pay Aministration
9901.342 Performance payouts.
The proposed system states, "NSPS pay system will use a pay pool concept to manage, control, and distribute performance-based pay increases and bonuses." Management of the pay pools needs to be open for comment by employees, and employee representatives. Specific accounting rules for collection, adminstration, and distribution of funds need to be open for comment. Accounting rules need to be established in advance of implementation of the NSPS system. An employee representative should be appointed as a trustee to oversee the administration of the pay pool funds. DOD should bare the full burden of all costs for administration of pay pool funds.
