2. As you will note the majority of the PMCD findings concur with the proposals made by OF. The
following rationale was applied to those positions with which we did not agree:
a. (New) Systems Accountant GS-14; While the desk audit confirmed the need for establishing
a new title and series to accommodate positions of this nature, we could not concur in allocating the
position above the GS-13 level. The key grade determining factor in this case is knowledge required by
the position. Applicable evaluation criteria was found in the Civil Service Standards Accountant,
GS-510 series and in the Computer Specialist series GS-334, with the primary qualification requirements
falling within the Systems Accountant series. The position's main requirement is for a comprehensive
knowledge and background in the principles of accounting, specifically the agency payroll system. There

is also a secondary need for a sound understanding of the concepts and principles of data systems
design, modification, revision and testing as it specifically applies to the payroll system. The
underlined portion of the previous sentence emphasizes the reason that the position does not justify
allocation above the GS-13 level. Computer Systems Analysts at the GS-14 level are required to bear
responsibility for all of the many and complex problems related to computer science for several
computer systems. Application of the standards alone would place the position at the GS-12 level in
the 510 series and at the GS-11 level in the 334 series; however, in considering the breadth of know-
ledge represented by the requirement to apply both skills, we added one grade to the primarily applicable
standard (GS-510-12) in determining the proper allocation, as is customary in the classification of
mixed positions.
b. BE-09 Sec/Steno GS-08 This position was requested for upgrade on the basis of the dollar
amounts which pass through the hands of the incumbent. The funds are in the form of checks from and to
various federal agencies and do in fact represent some impressive amounts. The incumbent is required STATINTL
actually applying no professional judgement or unusual expertise in performing the duties of the
position. The procedures used are well-defined and no more complex than many financial transactions
which do not classify above the GS-07 level. The incumbent also performs the usual secretarial duties
which are grade determining and the grade and title of the position is correctly allocated as GS-0318.01-07.

c. (New) Payroll Technician GS-08 This position was established to correct the problems
encountered in relaying data from the source documents to the input forms related to the payroll
system. The incumbent is responsible for spotting obvious errors in the input forms which would be
accepted by the computer, but provide an erroneous data base. The knowledge required by the position
is grade determining in this case and, as in other positions relating to payroll, is acquired only
through experience with the agency payroll system. Procedures and guidelines are well defined and
while the position is taxing and requires close scrutiny of data, it does not warrant classification
above the GS-07 level.
