Comments:
The proposed rules contain the potential for abuse of pay pool funds – No limits exist on the amount of pay increases, bonuses, and other awards that management can award themselves or others (favored by managers), leaving little or nothing for the remaining employees in the pay pools. The proposed rules do not assure that funds will be allocated fairly. If managers and top performers are awarded large pay increases, bonuses, Extraordinary Pay Increases (defined in section 9901.344 and on 7560), Organizational Achievement Recognition (described on page 7560), and other payouts from pay pool funds, the pools could be depleted, leaving nothing for the remaining rank-and-file employees like me.
