Comments:
How can this be a fair pay system when different positions in the same locality are not going to receive equal raises? Management has had plenty of time to position persons in the "right field" in order to get the additional monies. The proposed NSPS pay system includes a locality-based component of pay called a “local market supplement” in addition to an employee’s basic pay. The local market supplement will be based on market conditions related to geographical and occupational factors, and may differ from one occupation to another in a given locality area. Upward adjustments to local market supplements will not be given to unacceptable performers.
