Comments:
Management forwarded the following "Update to NSPS as of 2/25/05": ""3. Frequently Asked Questions. Will there still be locality pay under the NSPS pay system? 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."" I feel that locality-based components should be equal in each geographic area. This is another loop-hole for mgmt to reward favorites and should not be based on performance.
