IN REFERENCE TO RIN 3206-AK76/0790-AH82. MY CONCERN LIES WITH THE TRANSFER OF PAY GRADES TO PAY BANDS AND SUBJECTIVITY OF THE PAY EMPLOYEES WILL RECEIVE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A PUBLISHED STRUCTURE TO ALLOW EMPLOYEES TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT THERE PAY RAISES WILL BE BASED ON THEIR PERFORMANCE. THERE ALSO NEEDS TO BE STRUCTURED APPEALS PROCESS FOR EMPLOYEES IN REGARD TO THEIR PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS THAT WILL ULTIMATELY AFFECT THEIR PAY. I FEEL THERE NEEDS TO BE A CAREFUL REVUE OF THESE PROPOSED CHANGES TO INSURE THAT ALL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYESS CONTINUE TO RECEIVE FAIR AND APPROPRIATE PAY AND BENEFITS. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT THAT ANY PERFORMANCE BASED PAY PROGRAM IS EXECUTED IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS US TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN QUALITY INDIVIDUALS IN OUR ALREADY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY.
