Comments:
Subpart C - Pay and Pay Administration a. Annual cost of living increases are not referenced. Recommend cost of living increases be included as a major feature of the pay system. These increases should not be included as part of the Performance Pay Pools but should be a separate line item. b. Section 9901.301 to 9901.373. DOD employees should continue to receive the same annual pay and across-the-board adjustments that other federal comployees receive. c. Section 9901.342. Concerned that an increase in basic pay based on performance "may not exceed the maximum rate... of the employee's pay band rate range"; any performance pay would be in the form of a bonus, which would not be included computation for retirement purposes. Recommend this be addressed.
