9901.373, Sub Part C Pay and Pay Administration: There is no formal guidance on the WIG buy in process in this section. Recommend that the language found on page 7561, Temporary Promotion, second sentence be added to the final regulation. 9901.300, Sub Part C Pay and Pay Administration: There is no guidance in this section regarding the payment of lump sum leave payments for seperations. Under current procedures if an employee seperates at the end of the leave year the annual leave hours are paid at the rate (higher after the annual pay adustment) that the hours are worth as if the employee had taken them at that time. The practice needs to be brought over so as to provide parity with the rest of the Federal Civil Service. 9901.300, Sub Part C Pay and Pay Administration: There is no guidance on who and under what guidanace market pay will be established.
