MERIT PAY FOR MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS
1. Two of the key features of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978
are the concept of a Senior Executive System for supergrades and a Merit
Pay System for federal employees in grades GS-13 through GS-15 who are
supervisors or managers. While the Agency is exempt from these provisions
of the Act, the Director of Central Intelligence, under his special author-
ities, could adopt the concepts if it were found to be in the interest of
employees. We have established, on 1 October 1979 after appropriate
internal study, review, and discussion, the Agency Senior Intelligence
Service for all our supergrades.
2. There has been no decision in the Agency on the adoption of a
Merit Pay System. I have asked the Office of Personnel to initiate an
intensive study of the proposed system including reviewing carefully
the progress of those federal agencies which are currently experimenting
with the concept. As was the case with the proposals for the Senior
Intelligence Service, the results of the Office of Personnel study will
be fully reviewed by the Heads of the Career.Services and the Executive
Committee. A determination will be made next year whether or not the
adoption of a Merit Pay System would be feasible_ and offer identifiable
benefits to the personnel management program.of'the Agency.
