Comments:

You state pay bands, but fail to spell them out along with the pay for those bands. It is too vague. Then you leave promotions and pay raises and bonuses up to the Supervisor. This is going backwards. If your not one of the good old boys, in a certain click, and good buddy with the Supervisor, it will not matter how good your performance is, you still will not get the pay raises or bonuses. Just the good old boys will get them just like before. The promotion system now is not the greatest, cause too many people out perform others and never get the promotions. I feel this will just create more discontent in the work force then what there is now. On taking action on non-performers, a Supervisor can do that now if they will only do their job. This means counseling employees and documenting their performance and then grade them accordingly. But Supervisors won't do that and properly document poor performance. I feel this will just take a bad system and make it worse and not do anything in the name of Homeland Security except make it worse.
