Comments:
I go from the present GS to pay banding beginning this FY in July 2005. Proposed regulations say the pay will stay the same for first year of NSPS, but I have grave concerns after a year that it could be reduced if agency is having a bad budget year. Could pay be reduced, based on agency budget and not group performance level? What about COLA's under NSPS? Are they still allowed? Have concerns with 3rd party representation. New system offers water-down version of that representation and limits help to non-management personnel. Have concerns of being reassigned to possible overseas positions if management determines they are necessary in order to keep employed. Feel this will be reprisal effort by management on undesirable employees. Fear favoritism on yearly appraisals will run rampant, under this new system, of certain employees because they are more liked by management. Keep the present system which is working. Fine tune it if you must!
